Salt stress is one of the significant abiotic factors that exert harmful effects on plant growth and yield. In this study, five cultivars mung bean ( Vigna radiata L.) were treated with different concentrations NaCl also inoculated a salt-tolerant bacterial strain to assess their The was isolated from saline soil Sahiwal District, Punjab, Pakistan identified as Bacillus pseudomycoides . Plant monitored at 15-days interval finally harvested after 120 days seed set. Both sodium potassium uptake in above below-ground parts assessed using flame photometer. Fresh dry mass, number pods, seeds per plant, weight 100 reduced significantly concentration increased 3 15 dSm −1 There reduction yield plants exposed without inoculum compared inoculum. latter showed increase studied parameters. It found cultivar Inqelab least traits among cultivars, while Ramzan maximum reduction. Among all Na + occurred roots, observed seeds. study concludes reduces but alleviates salt stress. These findings will be helpful cultivate selected soils varying NaCl.
