Promising management strategies to improve crop sustainability and to amend soil salinity

By affecting 10% of the world ’ s total arable land, soil salinity has become a potential threat to feeding exploding population. As per current scenario, among 1,125 million hectares salt-affected nearly 76 are seriously affected due human-induced salinization. Due salinization, crop productivity is being hampered. In order enhance productivity, there an urgent need shift from traditional methods advanced 3E (efficient, economic, and environmentally sound) technology for reclamation management achieve better health sustainable production. The detailed mechanism salt interference with various pathways involved in plant growth development needs be understood. This article critically reviews harmful nutrient dynamics physiological apply soil-oriented (crop residue management, biochar application, agroforestry system) plant-oriented [plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPMs), regulators, nanotechnology] promising rehabilitation approaches mitigate its hazardous effect on salinity. monitoring assessment soils through remote sensing (RS) geographical information systems (GISs) pivotal framing long-term policies confront alarming threats sustainability. study provides insight into recent developments proposes futuristic solutions that could ameliorate attain sustainability under adverse environmental conditions.
