In order for a seed to germinate, it has to take in water. If the salt concentration is too high around the seed, it will actually prevent germination by keeping water from it. If it does take in the salt water, once it sprouts, it will immediately die. The water evaporates from the sprout and leaves the salt behind drying it out and killing it.
