Abstract
This publication is designed to help identify salt- and sodium-affected soils, the salt or sodium sources, how to take soil and water samples, how to reduce the harmful effects of salts and sodium and where to get advice in making reclamation and management decisions for each situation. Salt- and sodium-affected soils, and waters used for irrigation, present a complex combination of problems and possible solutions. It is not the intent here to cover all technical aspects or possible treatment approaches available, but rather to give a simplified overview of what should be considered in diagnosing and managing salt- and sodium-affected soils and irrigation waters. Since summarizing the effects of salt and sodium on soils and plants is difficult without using the appropriate terminology, a glossary is included.
