Abstract

The study was conducted for salt tolerance capacity and variability in lentil germplasm at different levels of salinity. The observations on 60 genotypes indicated a significant reduction in germination and seedling characters at varying levels of salt stress upto 16.3 ds/m EC. A combination of high germination and above 1 plumule/radicle ratio can give a criteria for selection of tolerant genotypes.
