Overview

Review demonstrates that biochar, exogenous elicitors, and seed priming reduce soil salinity and enhance crop stress tolerance, highlighting viable strategies to safeguard global food security.

Key Points

  • To review the causes and physiological effects of soil salinization and assess mitigation strategies, including biochar application, exogenous elicitors, and seed priming, to improve plant salt tolerance.
  • Synthesized findings on geological and anthropogenic causes of soil salinization, including drought, rock weathering, poor tillage, and brackish irrigation.
  • Evaluated the effects of soil remediation techniques (biochar and silicon-enriched biochar) on soil physicochemical properties.
  • Assessed plant-level interventions involving chemical elicitors (selenium, sulfur, silicon, salicylic acid) and seed priming on crop metabolomics and growth.
  • Biochar amendment increased soil cation exchange capacity by 17% and reduced the electrical conductivity of saturated paste extract by 13.2% without significantly altering soil pH.
  • Silicon-enriched biochar enhanced salt stress resistance in crops such as bananas, while exogenous elicitors induced physiological and molecular stress-adaptation responses.
  • Seed priming effectively altered plant metabolomics and proteomics, thereby improving plant growth under abiotic stress conditions.
