Abstract
A pot experiment entitled “Effect of saline water on growth, yield and
quality of green gram (Vigna radiata L.) varieties” was carried out during summer
season of 2017 in the net house of Micronutrient Research Project (ICAR), Anand
Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat). The experiment was laid out in Factorial
Completely Randomized Design with four repetitions. Varying five salt
concentrations viz., S0 (ECiw 0.9 dS m-1,Tap water); S1 (ECiw 1.0 dS m-1); S2 (ECiw 2.0
dS m-1); S3 (ECiw 4.0 dS m-1); S4 (ECiw 6.0 dS m-1) and two green gram varieties viz.
Meha and GAM 5 were selected in the experiment. The artificially salinized water
was used with five different levels viz. 0.9 (tap water), 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 dS m-1 by
using the salts of NaCl, CaCl2, MgCl2, NaHCO3, Na2SO4 and CaCO3 by mixing it
with R.O. water (0.01 dS m-1). The effect of salt concentrations on germination (7
DAS), plant height at 30, 45 DAS and at harvest, proline content at 15 DAS, protein
content of grain, nutrient composition viz. N, P, K, S, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu in grain
and stover and EC, pH, N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Na, OC, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu in soil after
harvesting of green gram were studied.
