Sinopsis de Biosaline agriculture and salinity tolerance in plants

The availability of freshwater for agricultural use is declining in many areas of the world. This is the reason for the increasing use of lower quality or saline water for crop production. Prolonged use of saline water severely affects the irrigated soils, which is a part of the global land degradation process and has direct impact on biomass production. For this reason, reduction of the spread of salinization, revitalization of salinized areas and introduction of salt tolerant high-yielding crops are important issues. The potential role of halophytes in the management of salinity problems on the arid lands is investigated at length nowadays; some of these have proven to be promising forage crops. This volume focuses on reclamation, management, and utilization of salt-affected soils, their sustainable use, and evaluation of plants inhabiting naturally occurring saline habitats....
