EFFECT OF SOIL SALINITY ON THE YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS OF MUNGBEAN
SHAKIL AHMED
Abstract
Experiment was conducted with 5 mungbean accessions/genotypes with the aim of ascertaining the effect of salt stress on the yield and its component. The decrease in seed yield per plant under salt stress was more pronounced, associated with a reduced number of seed per pod and 100 seed weight. Consequently salt stress was more effective at vegetative, flowering and seed filling stages rather than seed development stage in all the five accessions/genotypes. NM-92 was less affected which showed its adaptability under saline conditions. Delayed maturity due to salt stress pushes the plant also be desiccation stress causing shriveled seeds.
