Evaluation of Sweet Pepper Varieties For Salinity Tolerance Based on Morpho- Physiological and Biochemical Attributes

Soil salinity is a big threat to the world and has become major concern agricultural productivity. Sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) high value vegetable; due its quality nutrition. Despite growing all over country, production not so in Bangladesh. As popular crop also available everywhere, some varieties of sweet were put under this study assess their salt tolerance level. A pot experiment was conducted at net house, Botanical Garden, BAU, Mymensingh during period from November, 2020 April, 2021A factorial with CRD (Completely Randomized Design) applied, where Factor consisted six B included three levels. In vegetative stage, most parameters showed significant variation levels among except chlorophyll content. case physio-morphological traits, significantly reduced increasing biochemical attributes, leaf proline contents increased higher level salinity. Among being examined study, Messi had relatively than other therefore can be recommended for breeding studies. SAARC J. Agric., 21(1): 53-65 (2023)
