Abstract

In pot trials, 2 chickpea cv. were grown in Cl- (Cl:SO4 ratio 70:30) and SO4-dominated (SO4:Cl ratio 70:30) soils given salts of Na, Ca and Mg (4:1:3 ratio) at 20-100 meq/l of saturation extract on equivalent basis. In Cl-dominated soil, plants did not survive at 60 meq/l salinity, while their seed yield was 98-119% of the control in SO4-dominated soil even at 80 meq/l salinity. DM and seed yields were 65 and 80%, resp., of the control at 40 meq in Cl-dominated soil (EC = 3.2 mmho/cm), whereas for SO4-dominated soil similar values were obtained at as high as 120 meq/l added salts (EC = 6.8 mmho/cm).
