Effect of Soil Salt Content on Plant Growth

The content of various salts in the soil, such as potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, nitrate, etc., directly affects the growth of the plant. For agriculture, it directly affects the yield of the crop.

Many people believe that the total salt content of soil directly relates to the amount of nutrients the plant can absorb. Therefore, most of the country determines the amount of salt needed for plants by measuring the soil conductivity. In fact, the salt content in soil is divided into two parts, one part is the salt content dissolved in the soil, and the other part does not have the salt content dissolved in the soil.

The amount of salt that has dissolved into the soil is the salt that the plant can absorb. This part of the salt content will directly affect the growth of the plant, also known as the activity of the soil.

Lower or higher salt content in the soil is detrimental to plant growth. For example, when excessive phosphate fertilizer is applied to the soil, the phosphate ions in the phosphate fertilizer combine with calcium, magnesium and other cations in the soil to form insoluble phosphates, which is a waste of phosphate fertilizer, which also destroys the soil aggregate structure, resulting in soil compaction; excess soil When potash fertilizer is applied, the potash potassium has particularly strong potassium ion displaceability, and can replace polyvalent cations forming a soil aggregate structure, while monovalent potassium ions do not have a bond bridge, and the bond bridges of the soil aggregate structure are destroyed. It also destroyed the pellet structure, resulting in soil compaction.

If you want to quickly know the amount of salt that plants can absorb in soil, you can use a soil salinity activity meter. At present, the cultivation of crops and flowers in Germany is to measure the salinity activity of soil to determine how much nutrients the plant can absorb. STEPS Germany produced a soil salinity activity meter PNT3000 is very common in Germany, stainless steel probes, direct insertion into the soil, immediately showed the salt content of the soil. Convenient, fast and accurate. If you want to know the content of each element of the soil, you can use LASAAGRO2800, which can quickly detect the content of more than 50 elements in the soil.

How to eliminate soil compaction, it is recommended that you apply microbial fertilizer to the soil. Microbial secretions can dissolve the phosphate in the soil and release phosphorus. At the same time, potassium and trace element cations are released to form a bond bridge. Restore aggregate structure and eliminate soil compaction.
