Mitigation of Salt Stress

• Seed hardening with NaCl (10 mM concentration)
• Application of gypsum @ 50% Gypsum Requirement (GR)
• Incorporation of daincha (6.25 t/ha) in soil before planting
• Foliar spray of 0.5 ppm brassinolode for increasing photosynthetic activity
• Foliar spray of 2% DAP + 1% KCl (MOP) during critical stages
• Spray of 100 ppm salicylic acid
• Spray of 40 ppm of NAA for arresting pre-mature fall of flowers / buds / fruits
• Extra dose of nitrogen (25%) in excess of the recommended
• Split application of N and K fertilizers
• Seed treatment + soil application + foliar spray of Pink Pigmented Facultative Methnaotrops (PPFM) @ 106 as a source of cytokinins
