N2  - A pot experiment was designed to find out the effect of various salinity levels (0 – 12 mScm-1) on total chlorophyll contents, nitrate reductase activity, betaine contents and Na+ and K+ contents of Kidney bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Results revealed that increasing soil salinity brought about marked reduction in total chlorophyll contents, nitrate reductase activity and K+ ion contents. However, Na+ ion contents and betaine contents got increased. Both the genotypes perform well up to 4 mScm-1. At 8 and 12 mScm-1 electrical conductivity levels the behaviour of them was observed significantly antagonistic demonstrating their susceptibility towards saline conditions.
