In order to study the response of "Various wheat cultivars to different levels of salinity at early growth stage" a pot experiment was conducted in the green house of NWFP, Agricultural University Peshawar, Pakistan during 1990. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that various salinity levels, cultivars and their interaction had a significant (p 0.05) effect on germination, emergence, plant height, root length, fresh shoot weight, and fresh root weight. It was clear from the result that addition of salt progressively reduced germination, plant height, root length, fresh shoot weight, and fresh root weight and cumulative reduction for the parameters were maximum at salinity level of 30 dsm1 when compared with other treatments. Wheat cultivar, mutant and LU 26s proved more salt tolerant than the other cultivars with respect to the parameters under study.
