The saline soils, especially those extremely saline soils
are not good for cultivation. Too much salt can harm our crops and plantations.
So the question is Can you avoid a saline soil? Let alone how to prevent saline
soils?
The answers are simple: yes you can avoid a saline soil.
It's about taking some preventive measures to gradually phase out the salt and
the time of culture must also take some remedial measures.
The best way to prevent ground water is saline. It is known
that in areas with abundant rainfall, soils are considerably less saline. If
you do not live in rainy areas we constantly watering or create a constant risk
system that does not depend solely on rainfall.
Another method is to plant species and fertilize the soil is
to plant species as this keeps the soil hydrophysical conditions. The plants
and crops, especially those who need plenty of water are ideal for reducing
soil salinity. In fact, in those saline soils where no vegetation recovery is
very difficult, almost impossible.
Use mulch or straw to cover the saline soil is another way
to prevent soil moisture from evaporating and thus the increase in salinity.
It is good to improve the drainage in saline soils by
continuous and deep tilling and fertilizing the time. This will allow the
irrigation water or rainwater to penetrate deeper and thus wash the floor and
drag the salts.
It's good to keep away from saline soils to prevent cattle
and pastoraje. This can further soil salinity so it is always better to keep
animals away from where we want to reduce soil salinity.
Note that not all salts are equal. Some are easier to wash
as sodium chloride while others such as magnesium chloride and magnesium
sulfate are more difficult and takes longer reducing their level. In the latter
case, the best thing is that after adding calcium watered down in order to
balance the soil and help prevent soil salinity to have more and better crops.
Avoid saline soils requires time, effort and ingenuity but
hardly worth starting to see the results: lush vegetation, beautiful plants and
crops that are the pride of the area.
