Abstract

Salt affected soil is one of the formidable environmental variables affecting crop plant output, since different crop plants are susceptible to various salt concentrations levels as the results of low ground water levels, and in- appropriate irrigation practices. Because there is not enough yearly rainfall in drought regions of the worldwide, an amount of soil salinity could be accumulated from plant roots can boost the soil salinity.
