TOPIC: SALINATION: THE EFFECT IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT For how many decades, years, and days our country struggle lots of hateful problems.
We can interfere and initialized to ourselves that we must become stronger enough to face the tragic that life brings to us. Problems such poverty, corruption, crime and calamities issues that always trend to our society. But did you ever know that there are problems that we must consider as it causes lots of departure. Did you heard the thing Salination a simple term but has a big meaning Salination a process in which the soil become salty. Salty (saline) soils are soils that have a high salt content. The predominant salt is normally sodium chloride (NaCl, "table salt"). Saline soils are therefore also sodic soils but there may be sodic soils that are not saline, but alkaline.
Salty soils are a common feature and an environmental problem in irrigated lands inarid and semi-arid regions. They have poor or little crop production. The problems are often associated with high water tables, caused by a lack of natural subsurface drainage to the underground. Poor subsurface drainage may be caused by insufficient transport capacity of the aquifer or because water cannot exit the aquifer. For instance, if the aquifer is situated in a topographical depression.
Worldwide, the major factor in the development of saline soil is a lack of precipitation. Most naturally saline soils are found in (semi)arid regions and climates of

    5. Salt kills the plants because the cells of plants contain water and many other dissolved substances. Since the water has a lower concentration, water molecules try to move the inside and outside the cell wall to equalize the concentration of dissolved substances in the cell, which is called osmosis. Water molecules will be sucked out of the cell by a high concentration of salt, and resultingly it causes the plants to dehydrate due to an osmosis.…

    The chemical components that make up salt are the fused elements of sodium and chloride (Editorial Board, 2012). If there is abundance or very little salts present in dissolve fluids, there could be interference with routine cell functions. Plants depend on water for fluids within the living cells. Too much salt disrupts the flow of the necessary fluids to get to the roots. In addition, a disruption of the photosynthesis process which depends on water particles to carry oxygen and hydrogen atoms throughout the plant becomes stagnant. The salt, mixed with snow and ice, melts down to a watery substance that contains high levels of sodium chloride.…

    Small variations in salinity can make a monumental difference on the water cycle and the ocean circulation. Trouble can also arise when saltwater gets transferred onto the earth. That can damage the soil and wreck habitats! There are two types of salinity, primary and secondary salinity. Primary salinity is when water or soil naturally has a high amount of salt in it, like in a salt lake. Secondary salinity is caused by humans. It can be caused by clearing too much land, which makes the groundwater rise to the surface and the salts inside dissolve into the soil.Secondary salinity has two main forms of which it happens. The first is dry land salinity; when more water enters the groundwater than is taken out, so it can enter vegetation on land and become absorbed by the soil. There is also Irrigation salinity; (Irrigation is the act of flowing water over crops to nourish them), salts can collect in the topsoil under the irrigation. Too much irrigation or poor water are the main causes of…

    “All soil contains salts, many of which are essential nutrients for plants. Salinity occurs when soluble salts (usually NaCl) are elevated in soil and water. Every continent is affected by salinized soil and water; approximately 7% of the world’s land area.” (Nerissa Hannink, 2005).…

    The more time goes past, the more man starts realising how the management and the way we threat soils is important to insure its preservation and conservation. Nowadays, around 9.4 million hectares of soil, which represent the 0.5% of the land present on our planet, is irreparably damaged and has no longer any biological function. In other words, it can no longer be used in any useful way to provide food or other elements to the earth’s tenants.…

    Some operations are general for all sites, whereas, others are specific to special site/genotype conditions. Adequate soil preparation must be realized to provide optimum physical soil conditions, improve water holding capacity, and enhance nutrient availability for optimum root growth. Soil preparation goes from minimum tillage systems to methods that imply the modification of some soil properties through mechanical, chemical, and biological procedures (Figure 3). Soil tillage is often used to reduce soil compaction and improve superficial drainage. Tillage includes activities such as ploughing, disking, ripping, and subsoiling. The latter is used to break hard horizon layers and to improve the structure of clayed soils. Bedding consisting in making mounds improves drainage in soils that show minor excess water problems, such as small flooding during very short periods. In Venezuela, bedding is a common practice to avoid effect of short flooding at initial plantation stages. Besides it provides an increased volume of low bulk density, aerated soil. However, if along the growth season, the soil water table is close to the surface, future growth will be poor. In México complex drainage systems have been built to avoid soil flooding produced by periodical river inundations. If soils are very acidic, liming and fertilization can be used as amendments (Section…

    The Ministry of Health established the National Drinking Water Quality Standards (NDWQS) in 1983, with the most recent revision in 2000 due for circulation for use in 2002. The standards stipulate limits for physical, chemical, microbiological and radiological parameters and compliance with these standards is mandatory for all private water suppliers. Supporting documentation is available to ensure effective implementation of the standards and include information on the National Programmed for Drinking Water Quality Surveillance, and the Manual of Drinking Water Quality Surveillance. In addition to the NDWQS the DOE has developed Interim National Water Quality Standards (INWQS) that classifies inland water quality into 5 classes: domestic water supply, fisheries and aquaculture, irrigation, livestock, and recreation, each with its own set of biological, chemical and physical parameters.…

    Changes in land use and management can affect soil characteristics as well as soil quality. The term soil quality can be defined as the overall activity of a soil within an ecosystem that preserves biological activity and environmental quality, thus promoting plant and animal health (Doran et al. 1994). Alterations in soil properties and processes can affect functions that soils perform in the environment, which in turn influence patterns of plant growth (Ahuja 2003). Changes in land use influence several soil processes, such as oxidation, mineralization, leaching, and erosion, thus modifying soil function (Wang et al. 2001). Therefore, serious concerns about soil quality exist. In this context, concerns about soil as a major…
