Mitigating the impact of soil salinity: recent developments and future strategies

Soil salinity is among the major abiotic stresses that plants must face, mainly in arid and semiarid re-gions, high tolerance an important agronomic trait to sustain food production. Agricul-tural soils are unstable subject changes level, monitoring them at both local regional scale a relevant activity adopt soil water management strategies decrease salt concentration root zone, thus minimizing impacts on plant growth productivity. Addi-tionally, beneficial microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) plant-growth promoting bacteria (PGPB), particularly when sourced saline environments, can alleviate stress by multiple mechanisms. In this review, some interventions aimed reducing will be discussed, well vulnerability of crops sa-line obtain more tolerant plants. Highlights - Fast reliable status help promptly salin-ity and/or reduce salt. Leaching, alternating fresh- for irrigation purpose use efficient systems effective against salinity. Mulching amendments improve decreasing its NaCl levels. The rotation halophyte glycophyte species allow sequestration while maintain-ing profitable yields. Saline environments adapted valuable source PGPB AMF which through
