Abstract EN

Soil salinity has a negative impact on crop growth and productivity quantitatively and qualitatively, in addition to affecting soil and water properties.

The purpose of this article is to gather scientific information in Arabic to highlight the soil salinization issue in terms of its definition, types, causes, sources, and its impact on agriculture, in particular the cultivation of date palm and the ways of reducing or adapting with this issue.

Although date palms can adapt to severe drought, high temperature, and relatively high salinity in the soil, salt-added by the saltiness of irrigated water lead to a significant reduction in the productivity of date palm fruits and a marked decrease in the number of the trees.

Hence, it is crucial to understand the adaptation mechanism of date palms to salinity to develop varieties that can be more tolerated.

The targeted audience of this article are farmers, environmentalists, and academics, including students and researchers in agricultural and environmental fields.

The conclusion is that there is still a need for further scientific research to study this problem and find out the best treatments.

The treatment of the affected soil by salt is expensive and requires considerable time and effort.

Still, it remains the correct choice to obtain an appropriate environment to grow plants and crops.
