Soil salinity is a serious problem facing many countries globally, especially those with semi-arid and arid climates. can have negative influences on soil microbial activity as well chemical physical processes, all of which are crucial for health, fertility, productivity. negatively affect physiological, biochemical, genetic attributes cultivated plants well. Plants wide variety responses to stress classified sensitive (e.g., carrot strawberry), moderately (grapevine), tolerant (wheat) (barley date palm) depending the salt content required cause crop production problems. Salinity mitigation represents critical global agricultural issue. This review highlights properties classification salt-affected soils, plant damage from osmotic due salinity, possible approaches (i.e., applied nutrients, inoculations, organic amendments, physio-chemical approaches, biological nano-management), research gaps that important future food security. The strong relationship between different subdisciplines (mainly, biogeochemistry, microbiology, fertility nutrition) also discussed.

Abiotic stresses are considered as a significant factor restricting horticultural crop productivity and quality. Drought stress is major environmental constraint among the emerging concerns. Plants have susceptibility to drought stress, resulting in marked decline production during last several decades. The development of effective strategies mitigate essential for sustainable agriculture food security, especially considering continuous growth world population. Several studies suggested that exogenous application phytohormone plants can improve tolerance by activating molecular physiological defense systems. Phytohormone pretreatment potential approach alleviating plants. In addition, melatonin, salicylic acid, jasmonates, strigolactones, brassinosteroids, gamma-aminobutyric acid phytohormones function regulators effects stress. These hormones frequently interact with one another survival drought-stressed environments. To sum up, this review will predominantly elucidate role related mechanisms across various horticulture species.
