Sodic Soils: A Structural Challenge for Agriculture

Comparación entre suelo sano con buena estructura y suelo sódico con costras, raíces débiles y compactación.

Within the diversity of soil types found in agriculture, sodic soils present particular challenges that directly affect the structure of the terrain and, therefore, the health and productivity of crops. Unlike saline soils, where the main concern is the high concentration of salts, in sodic soils the central problem lies in the excessive presence of …

Fulvic Acid as a complement in the management of saline soils.

Acido Fulvico 90 3

Humic substances or humus are complex molecules of black or dark brown color, with high molecular weight, colloidal and hydrophilic properties, ionic adsorption and desorption capacity, release of nutrients in the medium and long term. These humic substances are classified based on the solubility of their components in solutions of different pH. This results in …

Sodic saline soils a growing problem for agriculture

Sodic saline soils It is important to differentiate between saline and sodic soils. Saline soils are those that contain significant amounts of salts more soluble than gypsum, which interferes with the growth of most sensitive crops and plants. Salinity is measured by Electrical Conductivity (EC). In contrast, sodium soils originate when the monovalent sodium ion …
