as agronomy, soil science, microbiology, bio-chemistry, forestry, ecology, analytical chemistry and genetic engineering, an integrated approach can be developed to study the functional basis of chemicallymediated rhizospheric interactions. Future studies in chemical rhizospheric ecology will open new directions for better exploitation of all beneficial soil bacterial communities (methanotrophs, PGPR, cyanobacteria, salt tolerant bacteria, etc.). In this direction modern research on `omics' technologies will help to develop the plant-microbe based combined technology for the restoration of sodic soil. The use and release of genetically manipulated plants and bacteria should be considered for sodic soil restoration after ecological risk assessments.
