Abstract: A hydroponic experiment was carried out to see the effects of salinity by using a randomized complete block design with four salinity treatments and five replicates. The salinity levels tested were 0, 50, 100 and 150 mol m-3 NaCl. CaCl2 was also applied to the salinity treatments. Green areas of leaf three and leaf four were not significantly affected by salinity at harvest one and harvest two, respectively. Green area of all other plant parts was significantly decreased with increase in salinity at both harvests. Salinity significantly decreased dry weight of leaf five, tiller two and roots at harvest one. At harvest two, dry weights of all plant parts except leaf 5 and dead leaves were significantly affected by salinity.
