ABSTRACT
Fifteen wheat varieties with varying tolerance to waterlogging were evaluated in sodic soil under waterlogged condition. The plant height, number of tillers per plant and biomass of all varieties decreased significantly under waterlogging as compared to non-waterlogged condition. The grain yield and yield contributing characters, ear bearing tillers per plant, number of grains per ear, test weight (1000 grains) of all varieties were also reduced significantly due to waterlogging. The above decreases in growth and yield characters under waterlogging were less in tolerant varieties like KRL-3-4, Kharchia-65, KRL99, KRL 210 while higher decreases were observed in sensitive varieties, HD2009 and HD 2851. Waterlogging decreased the shoot nitrogen, phosphorus and zinc concentration and increased the shoot Al concentration in all varieties. The decreases in shoot N, P and Zn concentration and increase in shoot Al concentration under waterlogging relative to non-waterlogging was less in tolerant varieties as compared to sensitive ones.
