Salinity-tolerant Erianthus arundinaceus genotype IND99-907 collected from the saline lands from Ernakulum, India29 and salinity-sensitive sugarcane genotype Co 9701030,31 were used in this study. Single buds from each genotype with five replications were grown in pots containing river sand: red soil: farmyard manure in 1:1:1 proportion. The experiment was conducted in the polyhouse facility with a 16-h photoperiod, 30/25 °C day/night, 380 − 400 μmolm−2 s−1. Salt stress was imposed during the formative stage on the 90th day after planting by irrigating with salinized water containing NaCl, CaCl2, and Na2SO4 in the ratio of 2:2:130. Salinity stress was imposed by adding 25 mM of saline water on the first day followed by incrementally adding 25 mM on every day till reaches 175 mM100.
