Abstract

---

Twelve barely cultivars were tested for their salt tolerance in cemented tanks lined with polyethylene sheet containing gravel saturated with nutrient solution maintained at electrical conductivity (EC) of 3,5,10,15 and 20 mS cm-1. Barely cultivars highly differed in their response to rootzone salinity . salt tolerance limits ( 50% reduction in green matter yield) of these cultivars ranged from 10.0- 18.4 mS cm-1.
