Abstract

Four chickpea cultivars (CSG 9651, BG 267, CSG 8962 and DCP 92-3) were grown to maturity under salinity conditions of 0, 4, 6 and 8 dS mE-1. Nitrate reductase activity decreased progressively with increasing salinity, although variation was seen between the cultivars. Cultivar CSG 9651, a kabuli or Mediterranean type, appeared to be the best adapted to saline stress, maintaining growth and showing efficient nitrate reduction under these conditions.
