Evaluation of Salt-tolerant Traditional Rice Varieties in Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Author(s): Quan Thi Ai Lien*
This study was carried out from 9/2022 to 2/2023, at Can Tho University, Vietnam. This study evaluated seedling
stages’ salt tolerance in nutrient solution using three Electrical Conductivity (EC) salt concentrations of 9.38, 12.50,
and 15.63 dS/m with fifteen traditional rice varieties. Five traditional salt-tolerant rice varieties at the seedling stage
(level 5) at 15.63 dS/m were selected. Furthermore, we evaluated salt tolerance at EC 9.38, 12.50, and 15.63 dS/m
in the vegetative and reproductive stages of seven rice varieties (a tolerant variety, Doc Phung, a sensitive variety,
IR28, and five rice salt-tolerant varieties were selected at seedling stage). This study showed that an increase in EC
concentrations in the soil significantly reduced plant height, panicle/plant, panicle length, a 1000 grain weight, and
yield. The addition of 9.38 dS/m EC can di.. View More»
