Evaluation of some bean lines tolerance to alkaline soil

Abstract

Introduction: In less arid cl imates, salts are less concentrated and sodium dominates in carbonate and bicarbonate forms, which enhance the formation of alkal ine soils. The development and identification of salt-tolerant crop cultivars or l ines would complement salt management programs to improve the productivity and yields of salt stressed plants. Materials and methods: This work was to study the evaluation of alkal inity tolerance of some bean
