Abstract

In India, 8.1 million hectares of land are salt affected. This poses serious problems in agriculture. Sustainable agriculture is related to soil quality. Proper appreciation of quality of a particular soil, demands the knowledge of physico-chemical, biochemical and microbiological parameters. This review deals with physico-chemical, microbiological and biochemical aspects of soil quality for saline soil, in general, and coastal saline soil of India in particular
