  Higher salinity affects 20% of farmed land and 33% of irrigated land area globally. These affect causes food crises worldwide. Humic acid provide protection against stress and promote the plant growth and productivity. Therefore, this study focuses on dose response relationship between exogenous applied humic acid and salt stress on Mung (Vigna radiata L.) cultivars. Resultants theapplication of humic acid under salt stress improvedthe plant growthand yield of selected cultivars. The higher salinity (100 ppm) caused higher effect on both selected cultivars than 50ppm salt as compared to control plants. While applied protectants 40%HA with 50 ppm salt is more effective than 40%HA with 100ppm salt in both selected cultivars. Based on biomass and yield reduction Pusa Baisakhi is least sensitive to salt than ML-131. Study also concise that salt stress depends on growth stages of plant and.. Read More»
