Trivedi Devanshi, Gurudev Parth, Patel Illa

Abstract :

Pulses are as poor man’s meat. They also provide energy, essential minerals, vitamins and several compounds considered beneficial for good health. Salinity is major problem limiting plant growth and production by affecting its many phases viz, seed germination, growth, flowering and fruting ,metabolite content. The salinity effects on pulses cultivars like mung bean, cluster bean and cowpea were investigated. all the cultivars Seeds treated with 0.5 %,0.75%,1.0 % and 1.5 % NaCl along with control (DW) were kept for germination at room temperature up to 168 hr. Physiological parameters viz. germination percentage, shoot length, root+hypocotyls length, Fresh weight ,Dry weight and seed vigor index were measured. Salinity tolerant cultivars were identified.
