“…Inoculating durum wheat (Triticum durum var. waha) with the rhizospheric bacteria Azospirillum brasilense NH, which was initially isolated from salt-affected soil in northern Algeria, greatly improved growth under saline soil conditions [101]. Under saline environments, multi-strain inoculation (PGPR) resulted in significant maize growth and yield improvement.…”

Soil salinization has become a major problem for agriculture worldwide, especially because this phenomenon is continuously expanding in different regions of the world. Salinity is a complex mechanism, and in the soil ecosystem, it affects both microorganisms and plants, some of which have developed efficient strategies to alleviate salt stress conditions. Currently, various methods can be used to reduce the negative effects of this problem. However, the use of biological methods, such as plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), phytoremediation, and amendment, seems to be very advantageous and promising as a remedy for sustainable and ecological agriculture. Other approaches aim to combine different techniques, as well as the utilization of genetic engineering methods. These techniques alone or combined can effectively contribute to the development of sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture.
