Observation Melina was the most salt-tolerant cultivar at seedling and field stages.
Intervention effect At 7.5 dS·m -1 salinity, Melina relative seedling leaf area was 60% of control.
Intervention effect At 7.5 dS·m -1 salinity, Melina relative yield was 66% of control.
Observation Delada was most sensitive to the highest salinity at seedling and field stages.
Intervention effect Delada relative seedling leaf area was 51% of control at the highest salinity.
Intervention effect Delada relative yield was 56% of control at the highest salinity.
