Eleven wheat genotypes (KH 65, KRL 19, KRL 210, KRL 377, KRL 370, KRL 386, KRL 384, DBW 246, DBW 247, DBW 248 and WH 1316) were screened for their growth and yield performance at EC levels of irrigation water >4.6 dS m-1 and pH 8.3 with six replications in RCBD design at ICAR-CAZRI, RRS, Pali-Marwar during Rabi season of 2016-17. The results of different genotypes in respect to germination, plant height, spike length, seed index, number of grain spike-1, effective tiller m-2, grain yield, biological yield, harvest index and economics significantly varied under saline condition. The wheat varieties KRL 377, KRL 370 and KRL 210 (2.22-2.34 Mg ha-1) showed high susceptibility, while KH 65, KRL 384, WH 2434, DBW 246 and DBW 247 (2.38-2.54 Mg ha-1) displayed medium susceptibility to salinity stress and KRL 19, DBW 248 and KRL 386 (2.56-2.76 Mg ha-1) maintained its growth and yield under stress conditions. The results revealed that the highest net return was recorded in DBW 248, KRL 386, and KRL 19 followed by DBW 246, KRL 384, DWB 247, KRL 210 while the lowest net return was obtained in KH 65, WH 1316, KRL 370 and KRL 377, respectively. Out of eleven wheat genotypes, five genotypes (KRL 19, DBW 248, KRL 386, DBW 246 and DBW 247) performed better in term of yield and economics under saline/alkaline environment. Therefore, present study recommends to grow these salt tolerance wheat genotypes in saline environment of Transitional Plain of Luni-Basin and other similar ecologies.
