Abstract: There was a gradual decrease in germination of all the wheat varieties with the increase in NaCl concentrations. Anmole was the least affected by NaCl salinity at germination stage. However, the performance of Sursabz were better during early seedling growth. The better performance of Sarsabz might be due to its better osmotic adjustment.
