gradual deviation from their previous salt tolerant ranking
T to MT, MT to MS and MS to S, respectively. Therefore,
in this study, varieties IR-20 and MR211 showed moderately
tolerant (MT) at 8 dS m-1 and moderately sensitive
(MS) at 12 dS m-1. While under 16 dS m-1, all varieties
were susceptible to salinity. Similarly, Fageria (1985)
classified rice cultivar based on their dry matter of plant
tops of the 8 cultivars out of 54. They observed that at
salinity level of 5dS m-1, almost all of 8 cultivars were
