Abstract: The experiment was performed during 2022 to compare Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) varieties under the influence of salt stress. And three-replicated Completely Randomized Design (CRD) design was used for its layout (factorial). The bitter gourd that was grown in canal water (the control) ended up coming in first place. It had a germination rate of 73.68%, a germination index of 1.83%, a vine length of 14.64 cm, a leaves of 5.06 plant, a root length of 13.02 cm, a root biomass of 1.33 g,. The bitter gourd was provided with 2 dSm1 and it finished in second place. It had a germination rate of 63.64%, a germination index of 1.67, a vine length of 14.08 cm, a leaf yield of 4.94 leaves plant, a root length of 12.51 cm, a root biomass of 1.23 g, %. The bitter gourd came in third place after receiving 4 dSm1 and achieving the following results: a germination rate of 39.33%, a germination index of 1.33, a vine length of 12.75 cm, a leaf yield of 4.84 leaves plant, a root length of 10.35 cm, and 1.11 g from its roots, This The plants that were given 6 dSm1 had a germination rate of 37.23 %, a germination index of 1.21, a vine length of 8.63 cm 4.32 leaves per plant, a root length of 9.19 cm, 0.88 g of root biomass, from their leaves, which placed them in fourth place. In a manner analogous, the Bitter gourd 8 dSm1 had a germination rate of 31.93%, a germination index of 0.92, a vine length of 6.15 cm, a leaf yield of 4.10 leaves plant, a root length of 8.06 cm, a root biomass of 0.57 g, . All of these measurements were taken in the Kiran variety performed the best out of those that were examined. It had a germination rate of 56.52 %, an index of 4.42, a vine length of 11.33 cm, a leaf yield of 4.67 per plant, a root length of 10.63 cm, a root biomass of 1.54 g,. Additionally Peshawar, the variety that came in second place, had a germination rate of 41.8 %, a germination index of 4.02, a vine length of 11.17 cm, a leaf yield of 4.63 leaves per plant, a root length of 10.62 cm, , a root biomass of 0.51 g, These are the statistics that were used to According to the findings of this experiment; bitter gourds that were subjected to treatment with canal water (the control) exhibited the greatest rates of the germination and vegetative growth and developments, followed by bitter gourds that were subjected to treatment with either 2 or 4 dSm¹.
