Abstract:
A pot experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from October
2017 to April 2018. The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A:
Different level of saline in soil with NaCl solution such as, S
: Control (0 mM
NaCl), S
2
: 40 mM NaCl, S
3
: 80 mM NaCl, S
4
1
: 120 mM NaCl and Factor B:
Different type of seed priming , viz. P
1
: Non primed , P
2
: Hydroprimed and P
:
Ascorbic acid priming (100 mg/L). The experiment was laid out in completely
randomized design with 3 replications. Salinity level and different type of seed
priming showed significant variation with most of the parameters. In case of
salinity the total pod weight per plant was recorded highest (90.19 g) from S
while the lowest from S
(17.34 g). For priming total pod weight per plant was
recorded highest (66.29 g) from P
4
3
while the lowest from P
(37.99 g). For
combined effect total pod weight per plant was recorded highest (107.09 g)
from P
3
S
1
while the lowest from P
2
S
4
1
(16.41 g). So, the use of ascorbic acid
priming (100 mg/L) in lowest level of salinity S
(0 mM NaCl) was the best for
growth and yield of faba bean.
