Glycophytes

plants growing in nonsaline soils and bodies of fresh water. Mesophytes, hygrophytes and hydrophytes, and some xerophytes are glycophytes. Nearly all crop plants are glycophytes. Some glycophytes are able to adapt to salinization of the soil; however, salinization always lowers their productivity. The resistance of glycophytes to salts can be increased by saline hardening prior to sowing.
