The net assimilation rate (NAR), relative growth rate (RGR) and yield were negatively correlated with different exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) levels; maximum reduction in NAR, RGR and yield was observed at 30 ESP. However, the cultivar NDP-2 showed maximum percent reduction in all the characters at 30 ESP as compared to cultivars NDP-7 and Rachna.
