An insight into variability and association among yield and its components under alkalinity and inland salinity stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

INTRODUCTION Salinity is the major abiotic stress after drought in rice-growing areas of the world and nearly 6.73 million hectares of land in India are saline-affected soils [10]. The area under salinization is increasing due to low precipitation, high surface…
