Salinity is one of the major stresses especially in arid and semi arid regions, which severely limit crop production. It impairs seed germination, retards plant development and reduce crop yield. This study was conducted to assess the effect of salinity on yield and yield related traits of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) in field condition. Seeds of five variety of lentil were grown on sterilized pot condition with different level of salinity for 12 weeks. The experimental design was completely randomized block design with three replications. Data analysis was carried out in respect of seed germination, number of branch, number of flower, number of pod and total biological yield. The result of the experiment showed that the concentrations of salt have a negative impact on growth and yield of lentil, as a result when the concentrations of salt increases, the germination, number of branch, flower and pod decreases. These results clearly indicate that Nacl highly affects all the yield related traits of lentil. These results also indicate that there is a difference in salinity tolerance level among the lentil verities available in Bangladesh.
