Abstract

Petri dishes experiments for the evaluation of growth of two maize varieties were conducted at Botany Lab, University of Gujrat, Pakistan during 2010. Two varieties were used in this experiment i.e. V1 (Haricon-11) and V2 (EV-1098). There were five NaCl treatments (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 m Mol). Germination %, root and coleoptile lengths and root and coleoptile fresh weights decreased with the increase of NaCl levels. Maximum reduction was observed at 80 m Mol of NaCl. It was concluded that salinity applied at germinating stage have drastic effects on maize germination and growth
