Salinity has hampered the agricultural productivity of coastal region. Among the various factors responsible for decline in soil productivity, soil salinity is of primary concern. The salinity is a major menace to maintain the sustainability of production. The soil degradation affects first on agriculture and then it spreads over the rest of the facets of the society. The present research effort was made to study the adoption of management practices for salinity with 36 villages and 360 farmers of all saline strata. The findings revealed that majority of farmers i.e. 55% of class A, 78% of B and 58% of C were in the category of medium level adoption of salinity management practices. In highly saline tract, the practices adopted by farmer viz; rainwater recharge through check dam, selection of crop varieties and application of FYM were ranked first, second and third, respectively. No one had adopted the drip irrigation system in the study area. Age and social participation have significant impact on adoption level
