Effect of salt stress and subsequent re-watering on growth and electrophysiological characteristics of Orychophragmus violaceus and Brassica napus was investigated, to construct a model for prediction of an appropriate regime for dilution of saline water. Different concentrations of NaCl, Na2SO4 and blend of both salts were applied with Hoagland solution. Growth and electrophysiology traits were highly restricted at high concentration levels. According to the results, the best dilution point was 5–2.5% for NaCl and Na2SO4 alternatively, whereas it was 10–0.0% for blend of salts. After re-watering, O. violaceus restore better leaf tensity under medium levels, because the effect of NaCl concentration on leaf tensity (XNC–LT) was 1.66%, which was lower in O. violaceus than the effect of XNC–LT (2.88%) in B. napus, followed by the same trend for all treatments. Therefore, the effect of salinity in O. violaceus and B. napus may also be reduced effectively by dilution of saline irrigation.
