Summary

Pot experiments with Malaysian rice variety Reyong-20 showed that sea water supplied at a concentration of 3 per cent increased yields of both grain and straw; a 6 per cent solution increased straw but not grain yields; yields were depressed at 9 and 12 per cent but tolerance of higher concentrations of sea water increased with age of the plants.
