INTERACTIVE EFFECT OF FOLIARLY APPLIED ASCORBIC ACID AND SALT STRESS ON WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) AT THE SEEDLING STAGE
Abstract
A hypdoponic experiment was conducted to assess the role of ascorbic acid in alleviation of the adverse effects of salt stress on growth of two wheat cultivars, S-24 (salt tolerant) and MH-97 (moderately salt sensitive). Seven-day old plants were subjected to normal or saline conditions (0 and 150 mM) for four weeks. Ascorbic acid was exogenously applied as foliar spray with varying levels (0, 50
