Abstract
This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing saline water as a nutrient solution in hydroponic systems to grow salt-tolerant plants. We evaluate crop production, nutrient uptake, and plant growth using a range of hydroponic techniques, such as aeroponics, deep water culture, and nutrient film, in comparison to conventional soil-based procedures. While examining the effects of different salinity levels on plant physiology, the study focuses on optimizing important characteristics in the hydroponic solution, such as pH, electrical conductivity, and nutrient concentration. According to preliminary research, some salt-tolerant plant species grow and adapt better in hydroponic systems, which presents a viable method for saline-tolerant sustainable agriculture. This study adds important knowledge for creating effective and sustainable solutions to problems with food production in areas where soil salinity is a problem.
