- Intervention effect Kashi Hemant primed with -5.0 Mpa showed salt tolerance and maximum plant heights of 55, 46 and 43 cm under the reported conditions.
- Intervention effect Kashi Hemant primed with -5.0 Mpa showed maximum dry matter of 8.0, 6.5 and 6.0 g under the reported conditions.
- Intervention effect Osmotic potential significantly affected tomato plant height and dry matter.
- Intervention effect Priming duration significantly affected tomato plant height and dry matter.
- Observation Kashi Hemant performed better than other tomato genotypes at high salt concentration.
- Recommendation Kashi Hemant was judged to have immense potential for cultivation in saline areas.
