In this present work, we have studied the seed germination of methi (Trigonella foenum graecum L.), cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and Ghobi (Brassica oleracea L. Var. Botrytis L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.) on the basis of different salinity levels. Different salinity levels of soil samples have been collected from the specific area of the Gujarat state like Ahmedabad, Surat and Ghandhidham. Saline alkali soils in Gujarat state have been critically studied by Bhumbla et al. and Talati. Moreover, the study of the Rann of Kutch and master plan for this has been carried out by Fao team (Dutch experts) headed by Prof. Vlugter. Similar investigations has been done by a study team headed by Khemchandani. Salinity mostly affects the seed germination and many times seeds are not germninated and ultimately farmers suffer from the economic losses. Present study will be helpful to the farmers and beneficial in farming the above crops. Plants like methi, cucumber, ghobi and onion are more sensitive towards salinity during germination and early seeding growth and some are during later stages of development. 0.2% and 0.4% salinity levels have affected during seed germination and hence taken up for the study. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol9no1/germination-of-some-seeds-in-different-types-of-clay-under-different-condition/ Salinity; Seed germination; Vegetable crops
