Application of Calcium Chloride to Mitigate Salt Stress In Vigna Radiata L. Cultivars (original) (raw)

2015

Abstract

A B S T R A C T The growth of Vigna radiata L. is drastically effected under salinity which is mostly seen in arid and semiarid soil. It's important to understand the salt tolerance among different varieties of mungbean, combat the problem and to improve the Quality and production of the crop. Thus present study was framed to study mitigation of saline stress on mungbean by CaCl2 treatment in pot culture experiments. It was observed that in the presence of individual NaCl and CaCl2 treatment, the growth of plant was reduced with its some major changes in important stress related physiological contents (chlorophyll and carotenoids). In contrast combined treatment of NaCl and CaCl2 reduced saline stress in these plants, increased their growth and positively altered physiological contents like Proline content increased during stress and decreased during combined treatments of NaCl and CaCl2. Decrease in chlorophyll and carotenoids level was seen in the plants under separate NaCl an...
