This research investigated the effect of the concentration of seawater (AL) and light intensity on seedling growth of A. nilotica. The research method used a randomized block design (RBD) factorial design with two factors. The first factor is seawater with 6 levels of concentration (AL 0%, 20% AL, AL 40%, AL 60%, 80% AL and AL 100%). The second factor is the shade with three levels of shade (55% NG, NG 65%, and 75% NG). The results showed: (1). Single factor shade and seawater has an inhibitory effect on the percentage of deaths tillers of A. nilotica, each treatment have different effects. The most effective combination inhibited A. nilotica growth was NG3AL5 (shade 75% and 100% concentration of seawater). (2). Seawater treatment affects the tissue organ damage of A. nilotica plants, especially roots and stems, therefore at 14 MST most of the test plants die for not being able to tolerate the treatment, (3). The analysis results of the soil physical and chemical parameters showed that no symptoms of poisoning the soil due to seawater treatment in the test medium, as shown by the high levels of every physical and chemical parameter of land far above the exposure limit. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
