I n concl usion, one may say, despite the low g rowth performance In carbohydrates b u i l dup and deficiency of some elements in few species such as L racemosa old groups, the overal l growth and phYSiological performance of these p lants under d i rect I rrigation with sal i ne water was very good T h i S IS encourag ing to start a good management plan to dissemi nate these species In the U n ited Arab E m i rates. Also It IS Important to supply adequate ele ments to the sOil media of the pre l i m i nary growth, especi a l l y those wh ich showed t o b e defi Cient I n some plants.
