However, it is not possible to bring arable lands under cultivation for aromatic and medicinal plants. The demand for medicinal drugs including ispaghol (Plantago ovata) is not only high but is also growing worldwide. The marginal, including salt-affected lands could be successfully utilized for the cultivation of non-conventional crops because these saline soils are not suitable for better vegetation cover due to poor physical properties and excess Na + concentration. Salinity being a global problem and a major constraint on food production worldwide affects plant growth and crop productivity and contributes to increased poverty in salt-affected areas. Among deleterious effects of high salt concentrations are ionic and osmotic imbalances, oxidative stress and also reduced photosynthetic capacity of plants. Assessing mechanism of salt tolerance in a crop species will ultimately help in devising a strategy to i...

The knowledge of K nutrition on relationship between plants and pests may help in devising strategies to set up high yielding production system by reducing disease incidence. Therefore, two cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars, S-12 (CLCuV-susceptible) and CIM-448 (CLCuV-resistant) were supplied with varying concentration of potassium [40, 120, and 236 mg K L -1 ]. During the experiment, only virus susceptible cultivar S-12 exhibited typical disease symptoms on leaves, while that of CIM-448 did not show any degree of disease incidence. Moreover, at lower K supply, severity of disease incidence significantly enhanced. Although growth of both cotton cultivars decreased at low K concentration, cv. CIM-448 was superior in growth than that of virus susceptible cv. S-12 at all K concentrations. Virus resistant cultivar, cv. CIM-448 had higher leaf epicuticular wax than that of cv. S-12. However, it is intere...
