Abstract: This publication is designed to help identify salt- and\nsodium-affected soils, the salt or sodium sources, how\nto take soil and water samples, how to reduce the harmful\neffects of salts and sodium and where to get advice\nin making reclamation and management decisions for\neach situation.\nSalt- and sodium-affected soils, and waters used for\nirrigation, present a complex combination of problems\nand possible solutions. It is not the intent here to cover\nall technical aspects or possible treatment approaches\navailable, but rather to give a simplified overview of\nwhat should be considered in diagnosing and managing\nsalt- and sodium-affected soils and irrigation waters.\nSince summarizing the effects of salt and sodium on\nsoils and plants is difficult without using the appropriate\nterminology, a glossary is included.
