Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted to assess the role of zinc in improving the salt tolerance in rice. Two varieties i.e. NIAB-6 and Basmati-370 were grown to compare. Three salinity levels i.e. control, 5 and 10 dS m'1 were developed with NaCl. Two methods of zinc application were used by dipping the seedlings in ZnSO< solution and soil application. Number of tillers, paddy and straw yield slightly increased in tolerant rice NIAB6 than Bas-370. Plant tissue concentration of K, Na, Ca, Mg end Cl was higher in sensitive Bas-370. Nitrogen concentration in both the varieties was not affected by the treatments whereas Zinc had suppressive effect on P concentration
