Radishes are grown and consumed as salad, oil and in therapeutic such as medicines. Seeds of two cultivars of Raphanus sativus viz. newar and pusa chetki were used to investigate the effect of different concentration of the salts (NaCl, MgSO4, CaSO4, K2SO4) including artificial sea water (prepared in various concentrations such as 0mM, 10mM, 50mM, 100mM and 200mM) on various parameter of the plant growth such as germination percentage, root length, shoot height and fresh weight of seedlings .The result showed that the different treatment of salinity had statistically considerable effects on germination percentage, root length, shoot height and fresh weight of seedlings. Higher concentrations of the salts (50- 200mM) reduced the growth parameters significantly in case of cv. pusa chetki. However, cv. newar demonstrated better performance than that of pusa chetki for most of the measured parameters such as fresh wt., shoot height and root length etc under different level of salinity levels
