In order to evaluate effect of superabsorbent polymer on survival and vegetative growth of Ber (Ziziphus spp.) grafted seedlings, an experiment with twelve treatments such as 3 levels of irrigation including: 60, 80 and 100 % of cumulative evaporation from pan class A, 4 levels of superabsorbent polymer: 0, 40, 80 and 120 g from A200 source carried out in splitplat base on randomized complete block design with three replications on 36 Ber (Ziziphus spp.) grafted seedlings during 2011-2013 in Ahwaz. Data were analysised with SPSS 19 software and means were compared by using Duncan's Multiple rang test. The results showed that superabsorbent treatments had significant (p 0.05) effect on survival and some vegetative growth characteristics such as seedling height, base diameter, leaf number and internode number. Also application of 120 g superabsorbent reducted 20 % in irrigation water use for each Ziziphus spp. grafted seedling.
