Introduction of the most Salt Tolerant Plants and their Reproduction Methods in the Turkmensahra Region

This study was conducted to identify the most resistant halophyte species in terms of salinity and drought tolerance, species located in the saline rangelands of Aqqala city, which is part of the Turkmen Sahara.

Sampling of halophyte plants and soil was done by surveying different places in summer. Then the plant samples were dried and identified. Soil samples were also tested for salinity.

Identified species are: Halocnemum strobilaceum ، Salicornia herbacea، Aeleropus Littaralis، Aeloropus lagopoeds,Tamarix hispida، Frankenia hirsute، Cressa cretica. The minimum and the maximum salinity Measured in 69-100 (m mohs/cm). Discussion and

Identify and development halophytes with high efficiency in terms of desertification, abatement that erosion and increase plant diversity, not only can create jobs and strengthen the economy of people but also it can prevent the developing of deserts.
