Wheat (Triticum aestivumL.) is second important crop being next only to rice and contributes about 33 percent 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 instructional farm) and net house in department of MBB, ( Kumarganj, Ayodhya) to create salinity stress at the level of T0 (as control), 25, 75, 125 mM concentration of NaCl, and ten wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars FLW-11, DBW-303, DBW-71, DBW-129, FLW-3, DBW-187, FLW-8, KH-65, HD-2858, KRL-3-4 were tested. For each treatment rate of germination percent, fresh weight of seedling, dry weight of seedling seedling length, number of tillers, panicl elength, 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 growth and development. However, wheat productivity is adversely affected by salt stress, which is associated with a reduction in germination, growth, altered reproductive behavior and enzymatic activity, disrupted photosynthesis, hormonal imbalance, oxidative stress, 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. As rate of salinity increase there were significant reductions in plant growth. By investigation it was found that the most salinity tolerant variety is KH65, KRL3-4, DBW 187, and least tolerant variety were HD2851, followed by FLW11 and other remaining variety are moderate salt tolerant.
