Abstract
Salt stress harshly effects crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. It spoils seed germination, diminishes nodule formation, delays plant development and reduces crop yield. A pot experiment was conducted at PMAS Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi, to evaluate the effect of salt stress on germination of chickpea which was grown with different fertilizers. Sodium chloride was used as a source of salinity; concentration is 100mM. The combination of compost and NPK has caused an increase of 30% in root length of CM-88 and 24% in Hybrid. A reduction in dry weight and lengths of radical and plumule was observed with increase in salt concentration. Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium (NPK) and Compost application increases 10% leaf number in CM-88. The combination of compost and NPK has increased chlorophyll by 40% inCM-88 and 25% in Hybrid variety as compared to salt stress. Cell membrane stability of plants also experienced a drastic reduction. Combined applications of NPK with compost help to combat salt stress and increase productivity in salt affected croplands.
