A pot investigation was conducted during (2016 and 2017) seasons in a glasshouse, Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams Univ., Shoubra ELKheima, Egypt. Pots were arranged in a randomized complete design with two factors, the first one was pomegranate cultivars which included two cultivars namely (Manfaluty and Wonderful) and the second factor was NaCl levels whereas, transplants were irrigated with five levels of water salinity (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 mM NaCl). It could be summarized results in some main points:
