Statistical analysis of the data revealed that yield and yield components of Wheat cultivars were significantly (p<0.05) affected by different salinity levels. Agronomic characters i.e. plant height, tillers plantG 1 , number of grains plantG 1 , 100 grains weight, grain and straw yield and harvest index of two salt tolerant cultivars (Mutant and Lu 26S) were reduced less than salt sensitive cultivars (Yecora and WS 711). Mutant and Lu 268 proved more salt tolerant than other cultivars at all growth stages. It could be concluded from these findings that grain yield was more adversely affected by salinity than straw production.

“…In both plants, Na + accumulation in the plant did not reach a seriously toxic level since in a previous study (Matsuura et al, 2005) in the plants accumulating much more Na + . Sharma and Swarup (1988) reported that short-term fl ooding in the fi eld increased the Na + concentration in the shoots and roots of wheat but the concentration did not reach toxic levels. They therefore concluded that the reduced growth and yield under excess moisture conditions was not due to ion toxicity but to the reduced uptake of nutrients.…”

The excess moisture stress had no effect on the net assimilation rate (NAR) in Shinano No.1, but lowered the NAR to 68% of that in the control in Nepal. Excess moisture stress decreased the total leaf area to 76 and 34% of the control in Shinano No.1 and Nepal, respectively. Leaf growth rate, number of leaves and leaf area per leaf, which infl uenced the total leaf area, were reduced by the excess soil moisture. The relative water content of leaves was unchanged in Shinano No.1, but was decreased in Nepal. Reduction in bleeding from the cut end of stem due to fl ooding was greater in Nepal than in Shinano No.1. Excess moisture stress reduced the K + concentration of the stem and increased the Na + concentration of leaves, stem and roots more strongly in Nepal than in Shinano No.1. Development of adventitious roots in the surface layer of the nutrient solution was better in Shinano No.1 than in Nepal. In conclusion, Shinano No.1 (common buckwheat) had a stronger tolerance to excess soil moisture than Nepal (Tartary buckwheat). In Shinano No. 1, leaf growth and photosynthetic rate were not markedly affected and the capacity of absorbing water and nutrients was retained by developing adventitious roots in the solution above the surface of the soil keeping proper physiological activity under excess moisture conditions.

“…these soils become anoxic with redox potential \?350 mV [2]. In India, 2.5 million ha of alkaline soils of Indo-Gangetic plains planted with wheat may experience saturated or temporary waterlogged conditions every year due to excess rains or mismanagement of water drainage from the farmer's field [3].…”

Six promising waterlogging tolerant varieties of wheat along with two local varieties were evaluated on farmer's sodic field (pH, 8.9) under drained and waterlogged conditions. Waterlogging was imposed for 12 days at 25 days after sowing. The redox potential (Eh) value of the soil was reduced to ?90 mV at 12 days of waterlogging and after removal of surface water, 16 days were taken to reach above the anoxic limit (B?350 mV) of soil. Waterlogging reduced significantly the shoot dry weight of all varieties, but to a lesser extent for the tolerant varieties, KRL3-4, Kharchia65 and KRL99. Waterlogging caused many fold increase in leaf Fe, Al, Na and Na/K ratio and decrease in leaf K, P and S as compared to drained treatment; these increases or decreases in elements were above or below their critical toxicity or deficiency levels. The waterlogging tolerance of varieties based on relative shoot dry weight showed a significant negative correlation with leaf Na and Na/K ratio. As compared to drained condition, the reduction in grain yield ranged from 11 to 27 % in waterlogged treatments. KRL3-4 and NW1014 showed less yield loss and had significantly higher grain yield than local variety under waterlogging. Thus, these two varieties can be recommended for planting in study area. These results suggest for selecting a right tolerant variety for increasing wheat yield in a specific soil and waterlogging environment.
