Abstract
In Romania, salt-affected areas (sărături) were recorded more than 500 years ago, but their poor agricultural potential was officially recognized in the mid-1850s. Later, at the beginning of twentieth century, the possibility to turn them to good has been scientifically approached; in the 1950s, Communist Party introduced poor agricultural areas (salt-affected lands, marshes) into national strategy regarding the agriculture, whose priority was to increase the agricultural land of the country and to obtain higher yields. Different means to ameliorate these saltaffected areas have been used: procedures applied to surface of the soil, chemical amendments, overseeding. Salt-tolerant species, especially with fodder value, have been used as a natural (biological) mean to exploit salt-affected areas.
