Salinization is a critical issue as it reduces or inhibits plant growth. The degree of salinization depends on the duration of exposure to sea water and the soil type. Remediation will therefore require much more time and inputs. The steps in the reclamation of saltaffected soils include, Leaching/surface flushing of salts and through the use of salt-tolerant crops and varieties and Noni (Morinda citrifolia) has been identified as one of the potential salt tolerant tree species capable of withstanding salinity. Thus an experiment was conducted in a variety of range of salinity to observe its influence on growth and yield of Noni. The results revealed that Noni could grow upto an EC level of 13.5 dSm-1 with normal flowering and fruiting while the plant exhibited tolerance upto an EC level of 21.3dSm-1. Hence, Noni has emerged as an important alternative crop in Tsunami affected areas of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Since this plant tolerates high salinity and tolerant of ocean salt spray the farmers of the coastal regions may be advised to take up its plantations commercially in large scale in saline area and also in the tsunami affected land. As Noni is tolerant of extreme salinity in general and is thought to possibly gain nutritional benefit from the minerals contained in sea water. It is suggested that Noni may play a vital role in giving boost to the economy to the growers and unused land can be made useful by giving clean green environment.Keywords

Andaman and Nicobar Islands being close to the equator, enjoy tropical humid climate condition, which are much congenial for vegetative and reproductive growth of Morinda citrifolia. Eighty species of Morinda have been reported globally of which, twelve species from different parts of India and three known species found to be in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Great variability within the species is the common occurrence. Owing to its high nutritive value, medicinal importance and having national and international market, there is a possibility for emerging as one of the most remunerative fruit crop to the island farmers. It flowers and fruiting occurs round the year. Noni plant is distributed in almost all parts of the island. It can be found near the coast, in open lands, and grass lands, in gluches and distributed forest of the dryer areas. It tolerates high soil salinity and brackish water stagnation, therefore, the Morinda citrifolia, is the best choice for planting in these affected lands. Farmers are showing much interest in Noni cultivation because of assured income from this plantation. Therefore, studies on its diversity have to be critically examined for various uses from the different tropical parts of the country.Keywords
