| Question: | "I do not really understand the value of the soluble salt tests. And what's the difference between sodium and calcium salts in the soil?" |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "Soluble salts, in the case of soils under turf, frequently give a good indication of whether or not drainage is adequate and whether or not the water being used is suitable for turf irrigation use. Soluble salts generally are sodium and potassium salts and they may be either chlorides, sulfates or carbonates. Carbonates and chlorides generally are undesirable, whereas sulfates generally are much less harmful. Sodium salts generally are soluble salts, whereas calcium salts may be much less soluble. Calcium salts tend to flocculate the soil and improve drainage, whereas sodium salts have a tendency to disperse the soil particles and to make the soils tighter and more poorly drained." |
