Abstract

This review attempts to describe the salinity problem and attempt to identify remedies, since research has revealed to what degree salt is hazardous to plants. Salinity is a worldwide issue, not only in Egypt. Salinity is the buildup of harmful salts in the soil, such as sodium and chlorine, which impedes the healthy and natural growth of plants. It affects plants in both morphological and biological ways, causing a decrease in dry and fresh weight, a decrease in the number of leaves, and wilting. As a result, we lose the complete plant, and salt impacts the protein, carbohydrate, antioxidant, and proline content. With the continuance of the salinity problem, a remedy was required , and a group of scientists devised an effective technique to combat it in which plants exposed to salt were watered with water treated with an electric field. Unlike untreated water, processed water has extremely little chlorine and salt. It is also a low-cost option that does not contaminate the environment and is simple to implement. As a result, it is regarded as an excellent remedy for water resistance Salinity.
