Abstract

Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is second important crop being next only to rice and contributes about 33percent of the total food grain production of this country, and salinity is one of the environmental factor that have a critical influence on the germination of seeds and subsequent establishment of seedling in the soil. In order to investigate salinity stress on wheat germination indices, an experiment was carried out at A.N.D.U.A.T, (student in structional farm)and net house in department of MBB, ( Kumarganj, Ayodhya) to create salinity stress at the level of T 0 (as control), 25, 75, 125 mM concentration of NaCl, andtenwheat( TriticumaestivumL.TriticumaestivumL.)cultivarsFLW 11,DBW 303,DBW 71,DBW 129,FLW 3, DBW 187, FLW 8, KH 65, HD 2858, KRL 3 4 were tested. For each treatmentrate of germination percent, fresh weight of seedling, dry weight of seedling seedling length, number of tillers, panicle length, plant height, and number of grain per spike, test weight and other biochemical were compared. In conclusion it was observed the increase in salinity level, it hampers the plant growt hand development. However, wheat productivity is adversely affected by salt stress, which is associated with a reduction in germination, growth, altered reproductive behavior andenzymatic activity, disrupted photosynthesis, hormonal imbalance, oxidativestress, and yield reductions. Thus, a better understanding of wheat (plant) behavior to salinity stress has essential implications to devise counter and alleviation measures to cope with salt stress. Different approaches including the selection of suitable cultivars, conventional breeding, and molecular techniques can be used for facing salt stress tolerance.Asrateofsalinityincreasethereweresignificantreductioninplantgrowth .Byinvestigation it was found that the most salinity tolerant variety is KH6 5, KRL3 4, DBW187, and least tolerant variety were HD2851, followed by FLW11 and other r emaining variety are moderate salt to lerant.
