COMPARATIVE EFFECT OF NACL AND SEA SALT ON GERMINATION OF HALOPHYTIC GRASS PHRAGMITES KARKA AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE REGIMES
Abstract
Seed germination of salt tolerant grasses, which could serve as non-conventional fodder/forage crop for saline land is more sensitive to salinity than dicotyledonous halophytes. Phragmites karka (Retz.). Steud., is a perennial halophytic grass, distributed in marshy places around Karachi. To determine tolerance limits of germination, we conducted germination experiments in NaCl and sea salt (0
