Cultivation of halophyte plants

Abstract

Halophyte plants, which thrive in saline environments, offer sustainable solutions to soil salinization, water scarcity, and climate change. This article examines their benefits, cultivation techniques, economic significance, and challenges. Halophytes contribute to soil reclamation, biofuel production, and food security while also holding commercial potential in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and renewable energy. However, limited awareness, high costs, and market barriers hinder large-scale adoption. Advancements in science, biotechnology, and policy support could integrate halophytes into modern agriculture, promoting economic growth, ecological restoration, and sustainable resource management.
