The objective was to evaluate the development of forage palm varieties resistant to Cochonilha do Carmim irrigated with saline water. The experiment was carried out at the INSA experimental station in Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil. It was conducted in an irrigated system, with the OEM, Baiana and Miúda varieties and 4 salinity levels with a 7-day irrigation shift, corrected for each irrigation, based on drainage lysimetry. A factorial 3 x 2 x 4 with a randomized block design with 6 repetitions was used. The evaluations occurred 365 days after the beginning of treatments for PMV and PMS. At 365 days of treatment, it was found that the OEM variety showed a smaller variation within the salinity levels, however the Baiana variety showed the highest PMV with 1.7 kg per plant and for MS the Miúda presented the highest production with 180.2 g per plant. The OEM variety stood out as the most tolerant to irrigation with saline water.
