Effect of high salt concentrations on wheat (Triticum aestivum) germination and growth of Cuba-C-204 variety
Main Article Content
Abstract
water absorption, germination, growth and accumulation of
total fresh and dry matter was studied in the first wheat seedling
stages of Cuba-C-204 variety. Results showed that water
uptake is only significatively affected at higher salt
concentrations than 25 dS.m-1, showing its tolerance to salinity.
Germination, its final percentage and growth indicators as well
as accumulation of fresh and dry matter did not show
significative damages at less salt concentrations than 25 dS.m-1.
Regression analysis proved the regression coefficient was
negative and highly significative, then showing that the higher
the levels of salinity the lesser the growth. From such regression
equations, the levels of electric conductivity that diminish
growth and the accumulation of fresh and dry matter by 50 %
were determined, observing a major sensitivity in the
accumulation of fresh and dry matter and plant height related
to root length.
