This study was carried out during the early planting season at the mini Research Farm of the Department of Botany, Delta State University, site 2 Abraka, Delta State, Nigeria to ascertain the effect of various levels of soil salinity (0.00, 90, 180, 360 Mm NaCl treatment) on the growth, plant height, number of leaves, leaf area and biomass accumulation (fresh and dry weight) of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) seedling (cultivar IT 870–9411). The result showed that the saline soil significantly...............................................
