yes, obviously soil salinity is now a days became problematic for agriculture but to lessor extent when compared to Soil sodicity/alkalinity. Saline soils contain neutral soluble salts of chlorides and sulfates of sodium, calcium and magnesium. The electrical conductivity of saturated extract of the soil is more than 4 dS m-1. ESP is less than 15 and pH is less than 8.5. Because of the presence of excess salts and low amount of Na+, these soils are in a flocculated state and their permeability is higher than alkali soils. Their physical condition is good and water can pass through them. These soils have a white crust of salts on their surface. Salinisation refers to the accumulation of neutral soluble salts in soils.
