Abstract: | The effect of various sodium salts at the early developmental stages of wheat cultivars was studied. Germination was not affected
by the presence of salts but cv. H-68 was more tolerant than Mexipak during later growth. The roots were more sensitive than
the shoots. The salts under study could be divided into two groups. Bicarbonate, carbonate, acetate and citrate were more
toxic for growth than sulphate, nitrate, phosphate and chloride of sodium. The individual members of each group did not vary
much from one another. |
