Delimitation of Salt Tolerance in Barley on the Basis of Water Relations and Ion Distribution Under Chloride and Sulphate Salinity

Sulphate salinity, in general, was found to be more detrimental than chloride in all the four cultivars of barley, i.e. 40048 Morocco’88’, Sunbar, Maris Mink and 6-Row, grown in hydroponics containing iso-osmotic chloride-, predominantly chloride-and sulphate-; and sulphate-salinity. Amongst the cultivars, 6-Row appeared to be more salt tolerant and Maris mink salt sensitive.
