Large areas of the world are affected by high levels of soil salinity.Global warming causes a rapid rise of the sea level and enhancing new salt-affected areas inundating new agricultural land through saltwater intrusion. Salinity management through breeding strategies, land management or organic amendment could be wise strategies for salt management. Exogenous application of legumes as green manure can potentially reduce negative effects of soil salinity through growth improvement, ionic homeostasis via enhancing Ca/Na ratio in soil, adding organic matter, over expressing SOD, POD, CAT, APX, and lessening membrane leakage that upsurge crop productivity in saline environments. Such contribution to the sustainable agricultural systems is considered an alternate way towards enhancing crop cultivation in saline ecosystems. This review focused on the mechanisms of green manuring crops in soil salinity reclamation and subsequent contribution on crop growth and development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
