Soil Salinity.

  

Soil Salinity can be a natural phenomenon (reflecting the geological/ lithological/climatic conditions of the area, or proximity to a coastal marine environment), or the result of anthropogenic activities such as the use of salt-rich water for irrigation or the adverse impacts of poorly managed irrigation in dry regions. Halophytic plants, white scabs, an oily appearance or lack of plant growth are all signs of salinity in the field. Salinity can be estimated using electrical conductivity (EC).
