Seeds of four chickpea genotypes (SG-11, DHG-84-11, Pusa-256 and Phule G-5) were subjected to varied levels of salinity stress to study its influence on the activities of some hydrolytic and oxidative enymes with a view to assess their relative capacities to tolerate salt stress during seedling establishment. Higher activities of amylase, protease, peroxidase and catalase were observed in tolerant genotypes viz. SG-11 and DHG-84-11 than in susceptible ones viz. Pusa-256 and Phule G-5.
