The present experiment was conducted in field at Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Naini Agriculture Institute, SHUATS, UP. To investigate the “effect of Influence of salinity on morpho-physiological responses in growth, yield and yield attributing traits on mustard (Brassica juncea L.) CV: -Varuna (T-59)”. Mustard seeds are treated with the different salts like NaCl, KCl, and MgCl2 with different concentration. They are NaCl treated with 150mM NaCl, 250mM NaCl, 350m MNaCl, 450mM NaCl and MgCl2 treated with 10 mM MgCl2, 20mM MgCl2, 30 mM MgCl2, 40 mM MgCl2 and KCl treated with 3mM KCl, 5mM KCl, 7mM KCl, and 10mM KCl. Among all the salt treatment MgCl2 performed best results in field parameters like field emergence, days to 50% flowering, plant height 30DAS, plant height 60DAS, plant height 90DAS, number of branches per plant, leaf area per plant, leaf area index, leaf dry weight, number of siliqua per plant, number of seeds per siliqua, seed yield per plant, seed yield per plot, test weight, biological yield, harvesting index. In MgCl2- (10 mM MgCl2 performed best results in field parameters). NaCl is followed by MgCl2 and atlast KCl (according to the results performed in the field conditions.). The field performance results are decreasing while increasing the salts concentration. Therefore salts concentration is inversely proportional to the crop yield.
