Abstract: A pot culture experiment was conducted to screen the polyembryonic mango rootstocks Muvandan, Manipur, Peach, Prior, Mylepelian, Nekkare, Vattan, Chandrakaran, Sundarimanga and Kolambe against different salt levels (50 mM NaCl, 100 mM NaCl and 150 mM NaCl) along with control (0 mM NaCl) based on the leaf gas exchange parameters. The experiment was conducted under Completely Randomized Design with three replications. Irrespective of different polyembryonic mango rootstocks, the leaf gas exchange parameters were found to be decreasing with increase in the level of salinity. The minimum per cent reduction of photosynthetic rate (7.65%), transpiration rate (20.85%) and stomatal conductance (32.79%) were recorded at higher salt level of 150 mM NaCl in Nekkare rootstocks.
