Figure 1:

Mean No. of leaves (a), No. of shoots (b) and No. of nodes (c) plant-1 of potato varieties treated with different levels of NaCl. Vertical bars indicate ± SE of means. Means not sharing similar letters are significantly different by LSD test at P ≤ 0.05.

Figure 2:

Total means of various parameters of different potato varieties (a), and different NaCl concentrations (b). Means not sharing similar letters are significantly different by LSD test at P ≤ 0.05.

Figure 3:

Mean Sodium (a), Potassium (b) and Chlorophyll (c) contents of potato plants of different varieties treated with different levels of NaCl. Vertical bars indicate ± SE of means. Means not sharing similar letters are significantly different by LSD test at P ≤ 0.05.
