The present study was carried out at Fruit Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Gandevi (Gujarat) during 2017 with aim to find out the effect of saline water on mineral composition of Khirni or Rayan (Manilkara hexandra L.) seedlings grown under polyhouse. The study consisted of six treatments of salinity levels of irrigation water viz., 0.5 dS m-1 (T1), 2 dS m-1 (T2), 4 dS m-1 (T3), 6 dS m-1 (T4), 8 dS m-1 (T5) and 10 dS m-1 (T6), which were laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) along with three repetitions. Results revealed that maximum P, K and Mg contents in leaves (0.174, 1.09% and 0.595%), stem (0.090, 1.98 and 0.730%) and roots (0.120, 1.77 and 0.480%) were recorded in treatment T1 (0.5 dS m-1), respectively. The same treatment (T1) also recorded highest Ca content in leaves (0.953%) and stem (0.540%). Whereas, N content in leaves, stem and roots as well as Ca content in roots did not influence significantly due to different treatments. Treatment T1 registered the least content of Na content (0.14, 0.13 and 0.30%, respectively) and Na/K ratio (0.14, 0.06 and 0.17, respectively) in leaves, stem and roots of the seedlings. In nutshell, it can be concluded that irrigating the seedlings of Manilkara with water having salinity up to 4.0 dS m-1 did not affect the nutrient composition considerably while at higher salinity there was significant impact.
