Abstract

The agricultural prosperity of a nation is largely connected with the balanced nutrition of human and cattle. The green revolution in our country has resulted in a remarkable step towards the quantitative and qualitative progress in food production, improvement in protein rich contents like milk and its various products. The human population growth has posed pressure on the existing land by way of meeting his basic demand like food, fodder, pulses and fuel. In order to attain the goal of self sufficiency one has to provide a sufficient amount of nutritious food and fodder crop to our live stock population through an improved production methods and the utilization of every inch of uncultivated land. Saline lands may also be reclaimed for this purpose and some varieties which can grow on these soils be tried. Soil salinity has posed a problem for all times to come. This can only be overcome by implementation of improved methods of agriculture. The utilization of such soil may be achieved by cultivating some salt tolerant crop particularly in arid and semiarid areas, where adequate irrigation facilities are available. The present study shows that there are 11 amino acids were identified, irrespective of the salt treatment. They gave maximum differential response in the two varieties under salt stress condition. In variety pusa-1053 arginine, histidine, threonine, proline, valine, tryptophan, leucine are accumulated as a result of increasing salinity and variety G-186 showed accumulation of proline, tryptophan in remarkable quantity which were comparable though less in quantity to the level found in susceptible variety pusa-1053.
