Halophyte water requirements and salt tolerance.

Halophyte	Salt tolerance	Water requirements,*L/kg
Seashore Mallow, perennial [53]	salt tolerant to coastal seawater	<1.5 times glycophyte irrigation (<1500–3000)
Salicornia, annual [36]	salt tolerant to 2 times seawater, optimum productivity to 1.3 times seawater	1.35 times glycophyte irrigation (1300–2700)

*Prevents salt buildup at roots—soil texture, drainage, natural rainfall, evapotranspiration dependent.
