Abstract

Five wheat genotypes were grown in pots under different soil sodicity levels. Sodium and potassium contents at tillering phase in leaves showed marked varietal differences. Varieties tolerant to sodicity were characterised by a lower Na/K ratio in striking contrast to the sensitive genotypes.
