Salt tolerance of selected halophytes at the two initial growth stages for future management options

Abstract Scarcity of water and the small area of the agricultural land are considered as the crucial environmental issues challenged the Arabian Gulf countries. In this study, experiments were conducted to identify the salt tolerance during the germination and the seedling stages of some native halo...
