Abstract

Abstract: Deedwana tehsil of State Rajasthan is facing a tragic problem of salinity. Almost 60% of total 160252.99 ha of land is under salt stress. This has created a deleterious impact on, not only the soils of these lands but also on the yield of the crops therein. Eco-physiological studies of some halophytes of these areas have shown that there are very characteristic structural features have been developed in these plants. Possible factor for this is soil which undergoing degradation due to increased ionic levels. This research paper presents an eco-physiological investigation of three halophytes, Salsola baryosma, Suaeda fruticosa, and Trianthema triquetra, in the arid region of Deedwana, Rajasthan, India. The study aims to understand the adaptive strategies and physiological responses of these plants to the extreme salinity conditions prevailing in their habitat. Field surveys were conducted to assess the distribution and abundance of the selected halophytes, followed by collection of plant samples for laboratory analysis.
