Salt-Tolerant Crops
Salt-tolerant crops are plants that can grow in soils with high salt concentrations. These crops have developed special adaptations that allow them to survive and thrive in saline environments, which are often found in coastal areas or regions with poor drainage. Examples of salt-tolerant crops include barley, sorghum, and quinoa.
These crops are important for agriculture, especially in areas affected by soil salinity due to factors like irrigation practices or climate change. By cultivating salt-tolerant crops, farmers can improve food security and maintain productivity in challenging growing conditions, helping to ensure a stable food supply.
