Abstract

A study was undertaken to know the effects of salinity levels (0, 3 dS/m and 6 dS/m) on the morphological,phenological and yield traits of 10 selected chickpea cultivars. Genotypes varied significantly in the manifestation of theirmorphological and phenological traits to salinity. Significant reduction in plant height and number branches was observed undersalinity, salinity delayed the flower initiation, pod initiation and physiological maturity. It was observed that the genotypes JG11, BGD 103, MNK 1 and ICC 1431 were less influenced by salinity stress on morpho-phenological and productivity traitswhen compared to other genotypes whereas, ICCV96029 and NBeG47 were severely influenced by salinity stress.
