Jojoba Simmondsia chinensis (Link) Schneider is a dioecious, perennial, evergreen woody shrub. Theseed of Jojoba contains 40 to 50% oil which has wide uses in cosmetic, lubricant, pharmaceutical,plastic, printing and other industries. The present research investigations revealed that averagetemperature from 28.80 to 37.76°C gave 62.22 to 78.88% germination of Jojoba seed. Averagemaximum plant height 113.59 cm followed by 101.96 cm was recorded on silt + clay and Cholistanisand respectively. The plants gained 102.42, 94.19, 81.66 and 57.16 cm height with brackish waterconcentrations 1000, 4000, 6000 and 8000 ppm, respectively. Increasing salinity level reduced thegrowth of Jojoba.
