    The effects of salinity and supplied calcium chloride on growth and leaf ions concentration of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) were investigated in Gorgan, Iran. A factorial experiment was conducted based on RCBD with four NaCl levels (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) and four CaCl2 levels (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg L -1 ). Data of growth, yield and leaf's Ca, K, and Na content were subjected to analyze of variance. The results showed that fruit yield decreased under salinity stress. Increasing Ca 2+ concentration in the nutrient solution increased the fruit yield. Leaf Ca 2+ , K + , and N content decreased under salinity stress. Tomato in its response to nutrient solution, salinized with sodium chloride and calcium chloride. The results obtained from this experiment show that salinity stress caused a significant reduction in plant growth, leaf number and fruit weight
