Abstract
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is known to be relat ively more tolerant to sal ini ty than other crops, such as maize (Zea mays) or legumes and thus has the potent ial to replace maize in saline soils ( Igar tua et al . 1994). The existence of large interspeci f ic (Yang et al . 1990) and int ra-speci f ic (Maas 1985, Azhar and McNe i l l y 1988, De La Rosa-Ibarra and Mai t i 1995) var iat ion for sal ini ty tolerance of fers a scope for integrat ing these tolerant crop genotypes wi th appropriate management practices to better exploi t the saline soils.
