Item Description:There are many areas on this world which might lend themselves to agricultural development and which are, at the present, not used for this purpose. Two of the most obvious are desert areas where the salt concentration is very high, both land and water areas. With the development of new approaches and careful research, considerably more productive capability could be developed in these. This volume points out some of the possible approaches as well as results obtained by a combination of creative research, practical understanding of the problems involved and inventive ways to overcome some of the handicaps of utilizing biosaline areas. This volume grew out of the "International Workshop on Biosaline Research" organized by Mr. Gilbert Devey of the Division of International programs of the National Science Foundation and directed by Dr. Anthony San Pietro of the Department of Biology of Indiana University. Since the proceedings of the workshop appeared somewhat limited, it was thought to broaden the spectra of chapters and include several topics briefly discussed at the Kiawah workshop
