      Saltwater surely affects the growth of plants. Saltwater alters the osmotic potential of the plants and due to this osmosis or active transport takes place. At times, saltwater proves to be beneficial to the pants but most of the time. It is highly harmful for most or all of the plants and herbs.

        Yes it effects the plant in a great way. Salt water dehydrates a plant and it can also kill it. There are a very few plants which are saline resistant (like mangrove tree) and they can grow in salt water.

        The research of Maynard Murray has shown that diluted concentrations of ocean water can increase the growth and nutrient content of plants. He began his research in 1940 and perfected it over a period of about 30 years. He wrote a book titled, "Sea Energy Agriculture", that was published in 1976. Here is a good article about his work.
