ABSTRACT
Salinity remained as a serious threat to agricultural land in all over the world. Salt stress conditions affect all aspects of plant growth and development. When we raised plant in different levels of NaCl, it caused the change not only in morphological characteristics, but also had adverse effect on physiological characteristics of the plant. Among seven levels of salinity, T0 showed better result against other treatments. T0 (canal water) proved the best treatment for all the understudy characters such as plant height decreased significantly with the increase in salinity level. Plant height, number of leaves plant-1, number of branches plant-1, leaf area, number of flower plant-1, flower diameter, flower quality, fresh weight of flower, dry weight of a flower presented superior results in canal water rather than 2.5 dS/m, 5 dS/m, 7.5 dS/m, 10 dS/m, 12.5 dS/m and 15 dS/m salinity levels.
