A comprehensive review on salinity effects, mechanism of tolerance and its management strategies in cotton

Abstract

Cotton is produced in more than eighty countries and plays a critical role in the economies of all. Soil depletion is occurring at an unprecedented rate as a result of salinity. Salinity is an emerging global issue which significant harm cotton productivity. In this situation, cotton requires long-term development; various salinity mitigation strategies can lead to long-term cotton economic output. Developing resilient cotton varieties is the first step in overcoming this long-term challenge. Numerous researchers are eager to improve various strategies (by applying modern biological tools) so that of cotton can combat the many threats face through its life cycle. Cotton's plant adaptation can be established by utilizing a variety of biotechnological methods. The improvement of suitable field conditions for optimum crop development is also taken into account; fertilizer application, good quality water supply and soil reclamation are all necessary to reduce saline situations and improve cotton output.
