The present study aimed to evaluate the potentiality of four seaweeds, which belong to different algal taxa like Ulva lactuca Linnaeus is green alga, Sargassam spp. and Spatoglossum asperum is brown alga and Botryocladia leptopoda is red alga all are used as soil amendment to reduce the soil salinity. Furthermore, the different concentrations of seaweeds i.e. 2gm, 4gm and 8gm were investigated for saline soil samples collected from Khambhat district, Gujarat. Amongst from the different concentration of the seaweeds species, the 2gms concentration of the seaweeds observed best soil conditioner and reduce the maximum salinity from the soil. Hence, the selected red seaweed has shown the negative effect against soil salinity. The brown seaweed spp. Sargassam gives the maximum positive effect against soil salinity in the 2gm of the concentration.
