Genotypic evaluation of cowpea germplasm for salinity tolerance at germination and during seedling growth

Genotypic evaluation of cowpea germplasm for salinity tolerance at germination and during seedling growth

Soil salinity represents a major constraint limiting crop production in arid and semi-arid countries. The effect of salinity induced by sodium chloride (NaCl) at five levels (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM) was investigated on four germination traits and thirteen seedling growth characteristics in twent...
