Salt exists in water as ions. Up to a certain amount of the ions can be helpful to plants. During absorption and transpiration of water, plants obtain some of the ions they need to ... The osmotic effect induced by a relatively high amount of salt may adversely affect less-salt-tolerant plants. ... Osmotic effects of salt...

Most people are only too aware of the damage and corrosive effects of salt on automobiles. On heavily traveled highways from 40 to 80 tons of salt per lane mile per year may be applied. Landowners along these roads also are aware of the damage to plants that such salt can cause.

How does salt affect the growth of plants? In a population of plants, are some plants more resistant to the effects of salt than others? If so, how might such a population be selectively bred to tolerate higher concentrations of salt?

How does (too much) salt affect land plants? ... Halophyte, term for salt-resistant plants, coined by the U.S. geologist Oscar E. Meinzer (1876-1948). Found in salt marshes and mangrove swamps, many halophytes could thrive in well-watered lands except for their inability to compete with the other plants found there.

For many years, it was believed that the addition of salt to roads would not pose a problem to the quality of drinking water. There have been many accounts of environmental damage due to sodium chloride, but these are apparent effects like vehicle corrosion, dying plants, and disintegration of concrete.

Cotton plants (Gosspium hirsntum L.) were grown hydroponically in a controlled environment to study the effect of three salt treatments on the microstructure of leaf mesophyll cells. Sodium chloride was added to a basic nutrient solution in amounts to give low-, medium-, and high-salt treatments.

We conducted an experiment to see the affects of sodium chloride on soybean plants. Beginning on February 6th we planted the germinated seeds. We began with three plants in each concentration level of salt (2000 mg/L, 1000 mg/L, 500 mg/L, 250 mg/L, and tap water).
