STUDY THE EFFECT OF SALINITY ON EMERGENCE STAGE AFTER 20 DAYS OF GERMINATION IN OKRA (ABELMOSCHUS ESCULENTUS h. MONCH)GERMPLASMS

摘要

An experiment was carried out during 2012 and 2013 at Biotechnology laboratory, Department of Biotechnology, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut to find out the response of different concentration of salt stress on emergence stage after 20 days of germination in fifteen genotypes of okra. Salt stress treatments showed profound and significant effect on plant root length, shoot length, fresh weight, and dry weight at emergence stage. Among all the okra genotypes,cv. Prabhani Kranit shows the maximum tolerance to salt stress even at 75mM level of salt stress. Whereas, the K.S^446 germplasm was shows the highest sensitivity towards the salt stress.
