Abstract

Nine of the 20 varieties tested were tolerant of NaCl at 1000-5000 p.p.m. The two susceptible varieties had a lower sodium, potassium and magnesium content than the tolerant varieties. The calcium and magnesium content of the tolerant varieties increased up to 4000 p.p.m. NaCl, while the potassium content decreased. The tolerant varieties had a lower chloride content than the susceptible varieties
