Seed germination studies on solanum melongena L. under salt stress.

The present work has been conducted on the effect of different concentrations of sodium chloride ranging from 25mg – 100mg of NaCl. The maximum germination percentage has observed at 25mg. beyond this level, the percentage of germination has reduced gradually, in the same way similarly time diffraction has also reduced gradually and 4h duration has shown maximum germination. The shoot and root lengths, fresh and dry weights also increased up to 25mg / in 4h when it is in NaCl and thereafter its gradually reduced.
