Abstract

Saline area of semi-arid and arid regions is very harsh for growth of normal mesophytes due to high temperature, low moisture and high content of salt in soil. Haloxylon stocksii is a halotypic shrub which can tolerate high stress for salt and temperature hence suitable to grow in such abiotic stress conditions. It is native to northwest Rajasthan and some parts of Pakistan. It is although a wild plant yet it has appreciable uses such as medicinal, animal pasture etc. Moreover taste of Bikaneri papad is not complete without the use of H stocksii. The inadequate and improper knowledge of this shrub makes it futile. Therefore for proper utilization of barren and waste land of northwest India and increasing farmers’ economy, study of this shrub becomes very important. The article gives information on importance of H stocksii wrt all aspects such as medicinal, papad making and improving the land. The article focuses on uses of H stocksii and commercialization and globalization of various products obtained from this particular shrub. Various biochemical and photochemistry aspects are also summarized in the article.
