Root dry mass and shoot length were lowered by 50% and 35%, respectively.
The germination percentage, germination speed and shoot length of all plants decreased in response to increasing salinity.
Measured variables were soil fertility and moisture, seedling emergence and survival, shoot length and biomass, root length and biomass.
They also enhanced seed germination, root and shoot length, and decreased wilt incidence under green house condition.
The plants were assessed for root length, shoot length, primary secondary leaves and chlorophyll content.
The maximum root and shoot length of each plant were recorded weekly for 5 weeks.
All CA treatments increased shoot length, while it remained unaffected by MA treatments.
At the end of the experiment, root length, shoot length and vigour index were estimated.
Higher concentrations of sugar mill effluent inhibited the root and shoot length of seedlings.
In all the cases, root and shoot length was superior over control.
Except for salt injury score, Na+ concentration, K+ concentration, Na+/K+ ratio, chlorophyll content, shoot length, root length, shoot dry weight and shoot length to root length ratio showed normal distribution.
