EFFECT OF SODIUM-CHLORIDE ON GROWTH AND NODULATION OF SESBANIA-SESBAN
MIRZA JI; TARIQ R
Abstract: Growth and nodulation of Sesbania sesban were compared at eight levels
(0-2.0%) of NaCl salinity in sandy clay loam soil (ECe: 1.0 dS m-1). Dry
weight of shoots and roots and number of nodule per plant decreased with
increasing salinity levels. Nodule dry weight, however, increased at low
levels of salinity (0.1% and 0.2% NaCl) and decreased at higher levels.
Maximum diameter of nodules increased at all the salinity levels except
in 2% NaCl. The decrease in nodule numbers was partially compensated by
an increase in nodule size.
