Environmental conditions such as salinity can have a negative impact on a plant's ability to grow and produce yield. The present research work was conducted at Botanical Garden and Herbarium Department of Botany, University of Malakand, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. To evaluate the responses of different maize at morphological level under different salt stress treatment as compare to control environment. A total of two varieties were evaluated for morphological study. After the germination different concentration (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mM of NaCl) were applied at appropriate stages. Salt stress caused a significant reduction in growth of all the common bean varieties. plant height incase control and with salt treated mean value was 19.0466, with standard error 0.7360, coefficient of variance was 25.877, range from Minimum 17.366cm and maximum 21.266cm, leaf length incase control and with salt treated mean value was 4.88, with standard error 0.1439, coefficient of variance was 33.891, range from Minimum 4.366cm and maximum 5.2cm, leaf width incase control and with salt treated mean value was 4.0266, with standard error 0.2682, coefficient of variance was 15.013, range from Minimum 3.066cm and maximum 4.7 respectively. Under different salt stresses when all varieties were compared to control condition.
