When salts build up in soil, they have to be removed to allow for plant growth. The amount of water required to accomplish this task depends upon the method of water application, the initial salinity of the soil, the final soil salinity desired, and the quality of the irrigation water. This publication provides the soil and water analysis for leaching salts from soil.
