Abstract

Salinity with sodic condition disturbs germination, retards emergence, and slow down seedling development of Lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citratus).Lemongrass is a perennial grass plant widely distributed worldwide and most especially in tropical and subtropical countries. This research experiment was designed to evaluate the influences of (4 dSm-1+ 13.5 (mmol L-1)-1/2, 5 dSm-1+ 25 (mmol L-1)1/2, 5 dSm-1+ 30 (mmol L-1)1/2, 10 dSm-1+ 25 (mmol L-1)1/2 and 10 dSm-1+ 30 (mmol L-1)1/2) on biomass produce of lemon grass against salt tolerance. The uppermost biomass yield (45.53 gpot-1) was produced by 4 dSm-1+ 13.5 (mmol L-1)1/2 treatment. The increase in the intensity of salts reduced the growth of lemon grass. Lower biomass yield (79.33 gpot-1) was gained at 10 dSm-1+ 30 (mmol L-1)1/2. 5 dSm-1+ 25 (mmol L-1)1/2 treatment performed enhanced outcome i.e. the least reduction % over control (5.87). Salinity- sodicity showed serious effect on the growth reduction from 5.87% to33.60%. This reduction gap was affected by the negative effect of salinity and sodicity on Linseed growth. Salinity- sodicity showed severe impact on the growth reduction from 5.87% to33.60%. Based on the findings, lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citratus).was capable to grow up the maximum at 4 dSm-1+ 13.5 (mmol L-1)1/2 treatment.
