Keywords: germination, salt stress, sodium chloride

Abstract: The article presents studies concerning the influence of sodium chloride salinization on the germination of pepper, radish, in-ground and greenhouse tomato, butterhead lettuce, carrot and cucumber seeds. The studies revealed that an increased sodium chloride content had a negative effect on the germination ability of all tested plant species. An aqueous solution of NaCl characterized by a conductivity of 6 mS·cm–1 caused a noticeable decrease in the germination dynamics of most analyzed species, whereas a conductivity of 10 mS·cm–1 completely prevented pepper, lettuce and tomato seed germination.
