The type of experiment was a completely randomized design with three salinity treatment NaCl, MgCl2, and KCl and minimum four replications was used. Salinity treatment consisted of 0 (control), 50, 100, 150, 200, mM concentrations. The experiment was carried out under 70% relative humidity at 23ˇăC with a photoperiod of 8:16 h light/dark. The germinated seeds were counted every day and germination percentage, seed vigor, seed tolerance, length of seedling and biomass seedling was measured. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA multiple comparison test followed by DuncanˇŻs multiple range test. %U https://www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/IJBR/article/view/5854
