Salt tolerance ofEchinochloa crusgalli was studied using gravel culture with root medium electrical conductivity between 3 to 25 dS m-1. Salinity depressed germination and shoot yield. A 50 % reduction in shoot yield occurred at 15.9 dS m-1. The plant was able to maintain its tissue water content and K concentration in the tissue water while Na, Ca and Cl increased and Mg decreased with increasing root zone salinity.
