EFFECT OF HUMIDITY ON GROWTH OF LETTUCE (LACTUCA SATIVA, VAR. GREAT LAKES) UNDER SALINE CONDITION

M. BRADBURY AND R. AHMAD
Abstract

---

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. Great Lakes) grown in soil irrigated with water of different salinities maintained with 0-72mM NaCI showed greater leaf area, shoot / root ratio and dry weight when kept at 92/100% night and day R.H., as compared to 62/82% R.H. No significant difference'in the rate of assimilation or stomatal conductance was found in plants grown at high and low R.H.
