Combating soil salinity with combining saline agriculture and phytomanagement with salt-accumulating plants

摘要: Salinity poses serious threats to landscapes across the globe, decreasing capacity of all types terrestrial ecosystems in providing services by threatening our biodiversity, lowering agricultural productivity, deteriorating environment, contaminating groundwater below standard level, enhancing flood risks, food security issues and restricting economic growth a community. Reclamation measures are required reverse process land degradation caused salinization; otherwise, trend towards salinization is expected grow beyond control developing countries. The scientific community policy-makers around globe have been testing long-term technologies including physicochemical, conventional breeding genetic engineering involving state art molecular tools for more than three decades. Nevertheless, they failed due reasons like non-technical feasibility reports, reliability affordability coupled with sustainability constraints at field level. This review discusses potential prospects Pennisetum genus (Poaceae) integrated, sustainable, robust profitable saline agriculture based on phytoremediation agro-technique. Our approach first ever record, novel insight into cost-effective biotech species environment-friendly future candidates stakeholders materialize higher average productivity posing lesser competition resources crops.
