Salinity stress is a severe environmental factor limiting crop yield worldwide.Plants are sessile and frequently encounter variety of environmental stresses resulting in altered growth and metabolism. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of salinity on biochemical parameters i.e. carbohydrate, nitrogen, protein and phosphorus contents of Triticumaestivum L. var. Raj-3765. The experiment was laid out as a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangementwith three replications. In order to determine the effect of salinity, Triticumaestivum L. var. Raj-3765 was exposed to different concentration of saline water and a control level (double distilled water) and its effects were observed.Salinity levels were prepared by adding different concentrations of Saline water (SW) and double distilled water (DW). It was found that carbohydrate, nitrogen, protein and phosphorus contents stimulated at lower concentration of salinity but reduced at higher concentration. With decrease in salinity an increase in carbohydrate content was observed. At salinity level 6 (DW: SW:: 00:100) carbohydrate content was 35.54 mg/gm and at level 1 (DW:SW:: 100:00) control level, carbohydrate content was 40.32 mg/gm in pre-flowering stage. Similar results were observed in other parameters.
