**5.1 Effect on plant growth**

The deficiency of ions, osmatic stress and oxidative stress to the plants. Under high saline condition for plants are not able to maintain osmotic balance leads to loss of turgidity, dehydration of cell due to higher saline environment movement of water from plant sap to soil in order to reduce the concentration gradient [15]. Due to ion toxicity and osmatic stress nutrient absorbed by mass flow greatly reduced. Due to high ion concentration affects soil osmatic potential which reduces the plant available water [16].
