What is Salinity and Alkalinity in Soils about?
Salinity and alkalinity affect soil quality and crop growth. Soil salinity occurs when salt content in the soil is high, limiting water uptake by plants. Alkaline soils have a high pH (>9) and contain sodium carbonate which disperses clay particles. Natural processes and irrigation with saline water can cause salinization and alkalinity over time. Affected soils have nutrient deficiencies, low microbial activity, and structural problems that reduce crop yields. Reclamation requires leaching salts, adding am
