The study was conducted to investigate the effects of applying different concentrations of the macronutrients K+,Ca2+,and Mg2+on the responses of contrasting rice(Oryza sativa L.)genotypes under salt stress.A solution culture experiment was conducted in a phytotron at the International Rice Research Institute(IRRI),under controlled temperature and humidity and natural sunlight.When subjected to salt stress of 100 mmol L-1 using NaCl,the salt tolerant genotypes FLA78 and IR651,accumulated less Na+and maintained lower ratios of Na+/K+,Na+/Ca2+,and Na+/Mg2+than the sensitive genotypes IR29 and Azucena.These tolerant genotypes also had higher concentrations of K+in their shoots and greater root and shoot biomass and green leaf area.Tolerant genotypes also maintained much lower concentration of Na+and lower and more favorable ratios of Na+/K+,Na+/Ca2+,and Na+/Mg2+in their active and developing tissues.Salt tolerance and shoot and root growth of both tolerant and sensitive genotypes were enhanced considerably when higher concentrations of Ca2+and Mg2+were applied in culture solution.The concentration of Na+and the ratios of Na+/K+,Na+/Ca2+.and Na+/Mg2+ in shoots also declined significantly.The beneficial effects of higher calcium were greater than that of magnesium and application of higher concentration of K+seems to have minor effects.Responses to salinity in rice can therefore be considerably enhanced through proper nutrient management,by increasing the concentrations of nu～ient elements that have favorable effects such as Ca2+and Mg2+Calcium is particularly more effective than both magnesium and potassium,and can be applied at relatively larger quantities in salt affected soils.
