Abstract

The response of four cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to NaCl salinity at germination and early seedling growth was investigated. Salinity treatments measuring ψπ 0.00, -2.457, -4.914, -9.828 and -14.742 bars were achieved by adding NaCl in deionized water. There was a decrease in water up take and germination of all cultivars. Increase salt concentration also affected the early seedling growth. Among the cultivars under investigation zarlasht cultivar appeared to be more sensitive at germination stage. However, it performed quite satisfactorily at seedling stage.
