This book addresses one of the biggest challenges facing modern agriculture: crop production under conditions of salt stress. With a specific focus on the melon crop (Cucumis melo L.), the book investigates the physiological impacts caused by excess salts in the soil and irrigation water.The text details how salinity compromises vital plant processes such as water and nutrient absorption and photosynthesis, resulting in reduced growth, leaf chlorosis and, consequently, a drop in productivity and fruit quality. As well as diagnosing the problem, the book explores the various tolerance mechanisms that some varieties of melon can display.Finally, the book looks to the future, highlighting the importance of developing more tolerant melon cultivars, offering valuable insights for researchers, agricultural technicians and producers working in regions affected by salinity.
