A pot experiment was conducted to investigate effects of different nitrogen sources application on vegetative growth phase in saline soil on maize growth, nutrient accumulation and soil physical and chemical proper-ties. The results showed that the biomass of maize in treatment of ammonium chloride was significantly higher than that in urea, ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate. The biomass of maize in the urea ammonium nitrate solution was the lowest. The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium accumulation of ammonium chloride treatment were significant-ly higher than other four nitrogen sources, which increased by 56.78%, 76.88% and 77.75% compared with urea am-monium nitrate solution. Different nitrogen sources had significant different performances in the saline soil, and the ammonium chloride had the best performance.
