Core Ideas We examined the yield component response to N fertilization under saline conditions. Nitrogen at moderate salinity exerts a positive and effective influence. Using urea fertilizer high salt concentration was negative or ineffective. Salinity is growing problem worldwide, techniques are needed mitigate this problem. This experiment conducted determine if nitrogen (N) could adverse effects of on wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) production yield. Two varieties (Elnilein Xumai 30) were seed into soil treated with NaCl rates 1.4, 2.5, 4.2, 7.6 dS m −1 . The NaCl‐treated soils fertilized three urea‐N (0, 86, 210 kg ha ). Spike length, number spikelets, kernels per spike, kernel weight 1000 affected by interactions between variety N. At level, increased 54.7%. study showed that alleviated NaCl. Moreover, among all levels used in study, 86 had similar impacts production. Across treatments, 30 generally higher yields than Elnilein different levels. These findings suggest cultural practices can reduce impact increasing problems worldwide.
