The salinization of cultivable soils is a major issue that humankind will soon have to face
It has been estimated that around 20% of the world’s land is cultivable, and over 30%, at present, is affected by salinization [1]. It has been calculated by economists and agronomists that each year, about 10% of arable soils increase their own salt content, due, for instance, to irrigation with salted water and the use of incorrect agricultural practices, such as abundant use of mineral fertilizers [2]
It has been recognized that a relevant role to maintain and improve plant health is played by rhizosphere microorganisms colonizing the fine plant roots
