Crops and their varieties differ greatly due to salt tolerance and rice can be grown successfully on salinity affected areas. Screening 45 rice varieties belonging to 15 agric-commercial groups to identify varieties which posses high degree of salt tolerance was carried out at 4.5, 8.0, 10.0 and 14.0 millions/cm-. The data on plant height, number of tillers/plant and dry matter weight revealed the six varieties: Kala Bunda-50 A, Bagg Munji-22, Bungua 147, Sufaida-17 and Sathra-273 were most salt tolerant as compared to other varieties. Kala Bunda 50 A and Sathra 273 are found better than other four varieties. Clear cut varietal differences are also seen within some agro-commercial group. The better performance of Sathra types suggests its adaptation through natural genetical changes to the salt ridden tract of Muzaffar Garh district.
