The seed planting depth is one of the most important factors affecting the uniform plant emergence and the success of planting. This research was designed to determine proper seed planting depth for Atriplex canescens . in the nursery of the General Department of Natural Resources and Watershed Management of South Khorasan , allowing desirable seedlings with better vegetative properties to spend less cost in nurseries can be produced.For this purpose, after the collection and preparation of Atriplex canescens, seeds and pots, 15 seeds were selected and planted at 5 depths: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 cm with 5 repetitions. After the planting , the emergence percentage and vegetative traits of the seedling were measured. The data was analyzed by ANOVA and t LSD test. The results showed that with increasing seed planting depth, all the properties of the study were significantly reduced , at a minimum depth of 4 and 5 cm. The highest emergence percentage (34.7 % and 34.3 %) was observed at the depth of 1 and 2 cm and the lowest seedlings emergence percentage was observed at the depths of 4 and 5 cm (2.4 %). Since there is no significant difference between the emergence percentage, vigor index, and seedling stem length and weight, and the moisture content of the Atriplex canescens at the depths of 1 cm and 3 cm, Due to greater seed losses at the soil's surface depth by granivores such as insects and birds, as well as rapid drying of soil due to severe evaporation of water in the pot, A. canescens seed planting is recommended at a depth of 3 cm.
