“…Ziziphus mauritiana is a small tree commonly grown in the dry regions of Africa and South Asia (Pasternak et al 2009). The tree is tolerant to drought, flooding, salinity and withering (Grice 1997;Hooda et al 1990). In Africa, fruits of the wild Z. mauritiana are edible but they are small and hence their economic value is low.…”

A long-term study was conducted to explore the possibility of using traditional rain-fed systems for growing domesticated Ziziphus mauritiana (so-called Pomme du Sahel) in the Sahel. Five varieties, Gola, Ben Gurion, Seb, Umran and Kaithli, were grafted on six rootstocks of Z. mauritiana from various agroecological zones of Niger. Trees were planted inside microcatchments at 8 × 8 m spacing. Over a period of six years, the variety Umran gave the highest fruit yield (3600 kg·ha−1) and the lowest fruit yield was documented for variety Seb (1970 kg·ha−1). Individual fruit weight ranged from 25.8 g for ‘Umran’ to 9.5 g for ‘Seb’. The rootstocks had no effect on average fruits yields and fruit size. There was a significant linear correlation between fruit yield and annual rainfall. In a rainy year (680 mm), the average yield of the five varieties was 7580 kg·ha−1. The results of the current study indicate that dry land plantations of Pomme du Sahel can guarantee food security during dry years in the Sahel. However, further studies are required to evaluate the economic feasibility of this system.

“…Only 8.5% of the cultivars could set more than one fruits per bearing branch. It has been further justified that genetic variation and salt stress adversely affect the fruit set and fruit size of ber (Liu et al, 2009;Hooda et al, 1990). It was concluded that branch length was influenced by brackish water treatment in both years.…”

“…In the present study, growth and physical characteristics of ber were reduced by the application of brackish water. Earlier experiment by Hooda et al (1990) were conducted on salt tolerance in ber; artificially salinized with NaCl, CaCl 2 , MgCl 2 and MgSO 2 . Results indicated that no plant was survived the highest salinity of 20 dSm -1 electrical conductivity (EC).…”

“…Leaf injury and death is probably due to the high salt load when the cells exceeds the scope of salt compartmentation in the vacuoles, accumulation of salt starts to build up in the cytoplasm of toxic leaves (Munns et al, 2008). Osmotic stress and toxicity of ions trigger foliar injury in different fruit crops depicted in Patil and Patil, (1983) Indian jujube Moderate tolerant Hooda et al, (1990) Pineapple Moderate tolerant Kulkarni et al, (1973) Olive Moderate tolerant Taha et al, (1972) Pomegranate Moderate tolerant Patil and Patil, (1982) 1-Apple; 2-Grape; 3-Grape fruit 4-Mango; 5-Banana; 6-Plum; 7-Apricot; 8-Avocado (Source- Bernstein, 1980).…”

Salinity in soil and water is a critical factor that is causing hindrance in crop production under salt affected areas. Plant metabolic activities are apparently restricted due to accumulation of salt. The event of salt stress happens to be the reason of severe alteration in the sequence of plant growth and development which ultimately reduces the survivability of plants. The physiological and biochemical mechanisms of tolerance to various osmotic and ionic components of salinity stress are evaluated at the cellular, organ and whole plant level. The course of adaptation towards salinity stress could be of various types such as avoidance, exclusion, extrusion, ion compartmentalization etc. Appropriate understanding of mechanism involved in salt tolerance at different levels in plant tissues provide a new opportunity to integrate physiological and biochemical knowledge to improve the salinity tolerance of fruit crops, especially from the nutritional aspect. Such information not only helpful in escalating the productivity in salt affected areas, but also facilitate in bringing relatively more salt affected areas under cultivation.
