Abstract
An experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh to evaluate influence of salt (NaCl) on sixteen tomato lines. Sixteen lines coded from V1 (Line-01) to V16 (Line-16) were executed under different NaCl salinity conditions (S0: Control; S1: 12dS/m and S2: 16 dS/m) following completely randomized design with three replications. Apart from control, V8 provided tallest plant in 12 dS/m (43.7 cm) and in 16 dS/m (38.4 cm) salinity level at 60 days after transplanting which was statistically similar with the V9 tomato line. V8 line provided the maximum number of leaves per plant except control (24.2 and 21.1 in 12 dS/m and 16 dS/m respectively). V9 line produced maximum leaf area (123.7 cm2 and 97.6 cm2 in 12dS/m and 16 dS/m respectively) under saline conditions which was followed by V8 line (112.7 cm2 and 92.6 cm2 in 12dS/m and 16 dS/m respectively). Maximum number of bunch per plant was observed from V9 line (10.7 and 9.3 in 12 dS/m and 16 dS/m respectively) followed by V8 line (9.3 and 9.3 in 12 dS/m and 16 dS/m respectively) except control. Maximum yield was found from V9 line (0.923 kg/plant) followed by V2 line (0.493 kg/plant) in 12 dS/m salinity level and maximum yield was found fromV9 line (0.593 kg/plant) which was closely followed by V8 line (0.407 kg/plant) in 16 dS/m salinity level. Tomato line-09 was found the best tomato cultivar for salt affected areas in Bangladesh.
