What’s Soil Salinization Soil salinization is one of the most vital soil problems for agricultural production. Salinization refers to the salt content of the level affecting agricultural and environmental health. Soil salinization usually occurs in arid areas, In these areas, soluble salt ions accumulate in the soil. In these areas where plant growth requires irrigation, the Evaporation and transpiration process leaves salt in the soil. At the beginning, salt will reduces soil productivity and limits crop yields. As the salt content increases, it kills the vegetation and soil microorganism. As a result, The perfectly fertile soil will became completely barren. Why Does Soil Salinization Occur Several factors contribute to an increase in the amount of salt in the soil: Irrigation Water Quality & Volume The total amount of dissolved salt in irrigated water and its composition affect soil salt content. The more water you irrigate, the salinity of the soil will be...
