| Summary: | Twenty four rice genotypes were grown under salt stress conditions, in the artificially salinized
cemented field basins. The correlations between different attributes were computed separately for
each salt stress. Different inevitable correlations were observed, but increased salt stress affected the
magnitude of these correlations. The attributes of number of grains per panicle, total florets per
panicle and panicle fertility showed very highly significant positive correlations with yeild per plant
under the highest salt stress. Such attributes may be utilized as the selection indices for salt tolerance. |
