In order to develop an efficient method for screening salt-tolerant pepper germplasm resources and identify superior salt-tolerant genotypes， this study determined the optimal salt concentration through gradient experiments and compared two germination-stage salt tolerance evaluation methods： petri dish and germination bag. And then， the salt tolerance of 94 varieties of pepper was evaluated by the optimal method. The results showed that 250 mmol/L NaCl treatment significantly distinguished salt tolerance differences among varieties and was suitable for germination-stage salt tolerance screening. No significant differences were observed between the two methods in terms of relative germination rate and relative germination potential， but the petri dish method demonstrated significant advantages in sowing efficiency （61.67% higher than the germination bag） and material cost （74.59% lower than the germination bag）， making it the superior evaluation method. Under 250 mmol/L NaCl stress， the germination rate， germination index， and germination potential of the 94 pepper germplasm resources were all significantly inhibited （P<0.0001）， and five strong salt-tolerant genotypes at the germination stage， specifically Xin Zhai Miao La（A47）， Qing Shan Xiao Hai Jiao（A37）， Hong Deng Long La JIAO（A9）， Ni Tang La Jiao（A29）， and San Fu Cun La Jiao（A65）， were selected based on membership function values exceeding 0.80. This study established an efficient method for evaluating salt tolerance at the germination stage in pepper and identified salt-tolerant germplasm resources， providing both methodology and materials for breeding salt-tolerant pepper varieties.
