The study was performed to identify salinity tolerance cotton genotypes at seedling growth stage in 2019 at Salinity Management and Research Center, Batiaghata, Khulna, Bangladesh. </em><em>Eight cotton genotypes namely CB-12, CB-14, CB- Hybrid-1, Rupali-1, DM-2, JA-17/6, JA-17/5 and JA—17/7 were evaluated under six saline 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 dS m^-1 and one non-saline (control) condition. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Different water salinity used in this study significantly influenced the growth of cotton genotypes. Under the growth at 30 dS m^-1, the less reduction of root length was in genotype JA-17/7 (44%), root fresh weight and dry weight of root were reduced lowest of 42% in CB Hybrid-1, the lowest reduction of shoot length of 37% was recorded in genotype JA-17/6, the genotype Ja-17/5 showed the lowest decrease fresh weight of shoot of 45% and the decrease of the dry weight of shoot was lowest in genotype JA-17/5 and JA-17/6. The genotype CB-14_,CB Hybrid-1, Rupali-1_, JA-17/6_,JA-17/5 and JA-17/7 were identified as the moderately tolerant genotype against salinity based on relative performance of growth under the salinity level of 20 dS m^-1. These genotypes have the potentiality to grow under salinity stress condition.</em></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> Kamrul Hassan Hashem Md. Abul Farid Uddin Copyright (c) 2025 Kamrul Hassan, Md.
