Abstract
A solution culture study was conducted for two years to investigate the performance of two wheat varieties (LU-26s and Pak-81) grown under varying salinity (Eee 0, 7.5 and 15 d'Srn') and given different fertilizers (Control, N, NP and NPK). A standard rate of 100, 75 and 60 kg ha' of N, P and K, respectively was used. ThE averag.eof two years results showed that LU-26s performed better even at ECe of 15 dSm-1 than Pak-81 and produced significantly h'Oher number of tillers/plant, lOO-grain weight and grain yield/plant. Of different fertilizers, combinedappUcation of the three macro elements (NPK) increased tillering, delayed earing with well Q.ev.etapedspikes and' heavier seeds resulting in higher grain yield. Key words: fertilizer management, saline conditions, wheat grown hydroponically
