Abstract :This study was carried out to determine the effect of normal and saline waters applied in 3 different stages on the growth of eggplant and soil salinity. Saline and normal waters have been applied in different combinations in these 3 stages. In the study, saline water and normal water have an electrical conductivity of 5 dS/m and 0.25 dS/m, respective-ly. Saline water applied in different stages especially in the early growing period, decreases the water consumption, plant height and weight but increases mineral material content (total ash) of plant and soil salinity significantly. In addition; if highly saline water used in irrigation, leaching applications have to be done.Keywords : Patlıcan, tuzluluk, sulama suyu kalitesi, tuz toleransı.
