Abstract
Plant growth under saline conditions, confronting the investigators, has resurrected many a research to reveal the degree and kind of plants resistant to soil salinization (Hayward & Bernstein, 1958). Gradually more and more information is available on the use of saline water for irrigation in arid and semi-arid regions and its quality, its influence on crop production and the effects on soil characteristics (USDA 1954, UNESCO 1961).
Lecture delivered at the Symposium on the problems of the “Indian Arid Zone”, held at Jodhpur, India, November, 1964.
