الملخص EN

Salinity is one of the most brutal environmental factors limiting the productivity of crop plants because most of the crop plants are sensitive to salinity caused by high concentrations of salts in the soil, and the area of land affected by it is increasing day by day.

For all important crops, average yields are only a fraction-somewhere between 20 % and 50 % of record yields ; these losses are mostly due to drought and high soil salinity, environmental conditions which will worsen in many regions because of global climate change.

A wide range of adaptations and mitigation strategies are required to cope with such impacts.

Efficient resource management and crop / livestock improvement for evolving better breeds can help to overcome salinity stress.

However, such strategies being long drawn and cost intensive, there is a need to develop simple and low cost biological methods for salinity stress management, which can be used on short term basis.

Microorganisms could play a significant role in this respect, if we exploit their unique properties such as tolerance to saline conditions, genetic diversity, synthesis of compatible solutes, production of plant growth promoting hormones, bio-control potential, and their interaction with crop plants.
