Abstract

Drought and salinity are constantly increasing phenomena against which an active control strategy is required, to safeguard not only the natural fertility of environments at risk, but also its recovery where this is technically possible. The main control experiments are presented, using on a large scale halophytic foragetype shrub species belonging to the genera Atriplex. The repopulation based on fodder bushes of the genus Atriplex constitutes an excellent solution to the problem of desertification the most widespread technique of propagation is the one that uses the seeds, with the management of the plants in the nursery. The rehabilitation of these soils by species of the genus Atriplex, such as Atriplex halimus, seems to be a promising avenue, in particular through the use of tissue culture in vitro which allows efficient and rapid multiplication of plants. Atriplex halimus is a xerohalophyte species used in programs to restore and rehabilitate degraded rangelands in arid and semi-arid areas. Biotechnologies with these many tools such as micropropagation by in vitro culture, offer an alternative for the revaluation of this species. Atriplex halimus is of therapeutic interest, its use in traditional medicine is widely known for its hypoglycemic properties.
