Salt Tolerance of Rice

Abstract

                                In order to cater to the needs of nearly two lakhs acres cropped with rice under either saline or alkaline soil conditions in Madras State, rice breeding work was started at the Research Centre, Peravurani in 1960. Apart from field scale tests, pot culture studies were also undertaken during 1963 to 1966 for assessment of the salt tolerance capacity of some of the reputed salt resistant varieties and hybrid progenies of crosses effected between saline resistant types and high yielding strains.
