Evaluation on salinity tolerance of new maize hybrids at early growth and their performance in coastal field
Main Article Content
Abstract
The stress of 150 mM NaCl decreased the growth and vigor of maize seedlings. Assessment on tolerance to NaCl stress of maize which elaborating stress tolerance index (STI) resulted in huge variation on tolerance of 20 genotypes to salinity stress. Based on a mean value of STI=0.15 and =0.05, a hybrid was classified tolerant when its STI>0.18. Hybrids of H31, H33, H34, H48, and H50 were considered tolerant, while H16, H18, H19, H22, H25, H32, H42, and H49 were medium tolerant to saline stress. The hybrids exhibited high variation in the field performances, in either vegetative growth or yield components. The hybrids with highest yield in coastal field was H32. However, other hybrids also performed well and had the yield which were not significantly different from H32. They were H17, H19, H29, H31, H33, H34, H48, H50 and H51. All of these salinity tolerant hybrids were prospective to grow in coastal area
