Each brinjal genotype was sown in two (Plug trays) sets. In each plug tray, 28 plants were sown. In one set of plug tray, normal water was applied. When seedlings attained 2 leaf stage (after 10–12 days of sowing), saline water treatment was applied to evaluate seedling survival under salt stress conditions. While in the second set of plug tray, saline water was applied immediately after sowing to evaluate germination percentage under salt stress conditions. It has been observed from the investigation that these genotypes were categorized as 19 genotypes under tolerant, 39 as semi-tolerant and 44 were susceptible to salinity on the basis of nursery and morphological screening trials.
