Abstract

At present, the development of sugar cane is directed at saline land but salinity provides a bad effect on the growth of sugarcane. The impact of salinity on sugar cane plants is hamper its growth and decrease the yield to 37%. This study aimed to determine the response of sugarcane shoots of Bululawang variety to salt stress (salinity). A series of four concentrations of NaCl (0 Mm, 50mM, 100mM and 150 mM) was used to treat 1 week old plantlet. The research was arranged in a complete randomized design with 20 replicates. The results showed that sugarcane growth was inhibited including length of the root, height of shoots, wet and dry roots and shoots weight were decreased by NaCl treatment. Damage symptoms due to salinity were more pronounced at NaCl concentrations above 100 mM.
