Abstract: Amongst the detrimental effect of several factors governing yield resulting in declining agricultural productivity, environmental stress is the most contributive. The higher salt concentration in the soil makes it unfavorable for the crop plants to produce the desirable yield. This unfavorable condition leading to salt stress adversely affects the plant growth and development simultaneously bringing about changes in the plant metabolism which may or may not be profitable. Sometimes these physicochemical changes in plants helps in the development of tolerance mechanism by the plants against the stress condition. There is also decline in suitable arable land area due to development of saline soils on account of faulty agronomic practices like improper fertilization, irrigation with saline water etc. This review summarizes the impact of salt stress at different crop phenophases on the various growth, yield and physicochemical parameters.
