Abstract

Experiment was conducted in pots to examine the residual effects of different levels of soil applied boron and sodium chloride (NaCl) to wheat during rabi on growth and biochemical parameters of green gram sown in following kharif.

Boron or NaCl stress, which were applied individually or in combinations to wheat, had significant residual effects on biochemical processes and yield attributes of green gram.

At rising levels of NaCl or B, the content of sugar, starch, as well as free amino acids in leaves decreased, while the content of proline was increased. Under boron and NaCl stress, the MDA level increased dramatically due to lipid peroxidation. There were noteworthy residual toxic effects on growth, development, biochemical parameters, yield and yield attributes of green gram sown in the following kharif season.
