ABSTRACT
The effect of different salinity levels on germination, seedling growth, seedling vigour and chlorophyll contents of five mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] cultivars viz. Pusa Baisakhi, PS-7, B-105, Pusa-105 and Suniana was studied. The percentage of germination, seedling growth parameters and seedling vigour index were found to decrease under salinity stress. Salinity caused reduction in chlorophyll contents, chlorophyll a/b ratio and chlorophyll stability index. Among the five cultivars studied Pusa Baisakhi showed better growth performance and comparatively higher tolerance to salinity.
