Abstract: | Summary Differences in salt tolerance of wheat and barley have been observed but knowledge of such differences in triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) cultivars is of potential importance. Effects of six salinity levels (0 to 2% NaCl) on germination of triticales Beagle and 6TA 131 in comparison to wheat and rye were determined at 15–20°C. Beagle triticale and rye showed similar trends in germination reduction as salinity increased from 0 to 1.5% NaCl and exhibited fairly high salt tolerance. However, 6TA 131 triticale and wheat showed a significant drop in germination even at 0.5% NaCl concentration and were more susceptible to salt injury. |
