Salinity Stress
Salinity stress is a major environmental challenge affecting agricultural productivity worldwide. Salinity stress occurs when high levels of soluble salts—primarily sodium (Na⁺), chloride (Cl⁻), calcium (Ca²⁺), and magnesium (Mg²⁺)—accumulate in the soil or irrigation water. Excessive salt concentration in soil or irrigation water disrupts plant growth, reduces crop yields, and degrades arable land.
