NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS OF SALT AFFECTED SOILS
Availability of plant nutrients is affected adversely in salt affected soils and
their productivity is decreased resultantly.
The main reasons for depletion in fertility of such soils are as under:1. Excess of certain ions like Na, CO3 and HCO3 suppress the availability
of other like Ca, K, P, Zn, Mn, Fe and B. technically, it is called
antagonistic effect.
2. An increase in soil pH, especially in sodic soils decreases the overall
availability of phosphorus and micronutrients.
3. In salt affected soils microbiological activity is curtailed to a great
extent.
4. During the reclamation process, leaching of salts is also accompanied
by leaching of nutrients.
5. Nutrient uptake by plants in salt affected soils is also reduced due to
decreased water uptake because of physiological unavailability of the
latter.
NITROGEN
Nitrogenous fertilizer play important role in utilizing the salt affected soils
for improving crop yield because
1. These soils are deficient in nitrogen.
2. Low N and organic matter contents
3. Reduced microbial population
4. Rate of mineralization of nitrogen is slow down. Salinity level (ECe)
above 10 dS m-1 is harmful
5. Nitrogen absorption by plants increase up to moderate salinity value (6
dS m-1) and then decreases at higher salinity values and ESP of soil.
6. The rate of conversion of one form of nitrogen to other forms is quite
slow e.g. hydrolysis of urea to ammonium N was much slow down with
increase in soil pH.
7. Low enzymatic activity in saline soils.
8. Chloride reduces the rate of nitrification when present
between 0.5- 1.0 percent.
9. Ammonium volatilization loss from applied nitrogen
increases with increase in pH/alkalinity of soil
10. 20-25 percent over dose of nitrogen fertilizers
PHOSPHORUS
Chemistry of phosphorus is more complex in salt affected as compared to
normal soils.
1. The availability of P is decreased in sodic soil during reclamation.
2. The availability of P in saline soil may decrease, increase or remain
unchanged depending on the nature and degree of salinity.
3. Salts which change pH show more changes in the solubility of
phosphates in soils.
4. Barren sodic soils have high amounts of Olsen extractable P and
categorized as adequate in available P.
5. Amount of water soluble P increase with soil pH above 9.0.
6. The availability of phosphorus increases up to moderate salinity (ECe 6
dS m-1)
7. In sodic soils, there is a tendency for increase of Ca-P form
with increase in ESP and decrease in Al-P
8. In highly saline sodic soils about 10-15 percent more P is to
be added and special care is to be taken for calcareous
soils.
9.Phosphorus absorption by plants is generally reduced with
increase in salinity and ESP of soil.
10. P uptake by plants increases up to moderate salinity (ECe 6
dS m-1) and ESP (30-35) levels.
Potassium
1. Increase in soil salinity depresses the K uptake by plant while Na
uptake increases.
2. In sodic soil Na increases and those of Ca, Mg and K decreases.
MICRONUTRIENTS
High pH, high CaCO3, high ESP, low organic matter content and high
amount of soluble salts are the major factors responsible for
micronutrients deficiencies in salt affected soils.
Among the micronutrients, Zn deficiency is wide spread in sodic soils.
Other micronutrients like Fe, Mn and Cu are also precipitated as their
hydroxides or carbonates in highly alkaline range and may show their
deficiency.
In many areas particularly under poorly drained condition in medium
and fine textured soil B has been reported to be present in toxic
amounts.
