Performance of Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Monoembryonic and Polyembryonic Seedlings under Salt Stress Condition
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: The experiment was laid out under net house condition on monoembryonic (Dashehari) and polyembryonic (Bappakai) mango variety seedling with 5 (five) treatments and having (one) replication under complete randomized design. The following morpho-physiological observations were recorded at three stages on 0th day, 15th day and 30th day after the application of treatment to the tagged plants. Result revealed that inhibition of growth parameters with increasing intensity of salinity level and monoembryonic seedling showed more inhibition of growth as compared to polyembryonic seedling. Physiological parameters namely saturated weight, RWC, MSI and water potential drastically reduction in mono and polyembryonic seedlings with increasing salt concentration. The negatively highest water potential value and membrane get damaged was recorded in monoembryonic seedlings over polyembryonic cv. Bappakai. In polyembryonic seedlings symptoms of salinity stress were not observed in control, 15.8 g NaCl/10 kg pot soil (T1) and 31.6 g NaCl/10 kg pot soil (T2).
