Özet
This research aimed to determine the effects of salt stress on seedling growth of four silage maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars (Ozgem, Efe, Safak and Side). The degree of salinity tolerance among these cultivars were evaluated at seedling growth stage at four different salt concentrations (0, 4, 8 and 12 dS m"1 NaCl). Root length, shoot length, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, chlorophyll content, crude protein ratio, ADF and NDF ratios were determined in this research. According to results, as the salt concentration increased, root length, shoot length, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, relative chlorophyll content and crude protein ratio decreased significantly. Responses of cultivars to salt stress indicated differences. Cultivar Efe and Safak had the highest shoot length. The highest shoot dry weights were obtained from cultivars Efe and Safak while the lowest shoot dry weight was obtained from cultivar Side. The results showed that Efe is the cultivar to be recommended for saline soils.
