Haloxylon salicornicum is a shrub species
found in arid regions and has beneficial applications
that include fruiting tops and seed as animal feed, seed
as emergency food, wood as fuel, different plant parts
for medicine, and restoration of degraded lands.
Moreover, the species is tolerant to abiotic stresses
such as drought and high temperature which make it
suitable for cultivation in marginal lands of arid
regions. Lack of research in H. salicornicum hinders
its successful improvement and promotion. Sixty five
accessions of H. salicornicum collected from Northwestern
Rajasthan were characterized in terms of
growth attributes and yield. Characterization of
growth traits and yield showed that there are extensive
variations in plant height, canopy diameter, number of
branches, above ground biomass and seed yields. This
article aims at summarizing information on distribution,
ecology, uses and diversity of H. salicornicum to
stimulate interest in this species to promote its
domestication in arid lands.
