Abstract
Soil salinity is one of the major obstacles to crop production in arid and semi - arid regions. To overcome this problem scientists have devised various reel amative methods and management practices. But under these circumstances biological approach in conjunction with management practices, seems to be a highly efficient way of overcoming the salinity menace. The present paper outlines the achievements gained through biological approach in the past few years. The implications of selection and breeding for salt tolerance, in particular, have been highlighted.
