Effects of sodium chloride and sodium sulphate on the content of some organic and inorganic constituents in the leaves of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Var. C-11) were studied. Increased water content under saline conditions made the leaves succulent. The concentration of reducing sugars appeared to be higher while that of total sugars and starch was lower. The plants also failed to accumulate proline at higher salinity levels. Phosphorus and potassium content were lowered while those of calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride and sulphate were increase under both salinities. This indicates that there is no regulation on the uptake of latter elements under saline conditions.
