Sodium (Na) has been demonstrated to be an essential element for some plants with a special photosynthetic pathway, but in practice problems result from excessive amounts of Na, not deficiences. Analytical Methods . The analytical methods used by the soil test laboratory must be applicable to your
Irrigation salinity – causes and impacts
www.dpi.nsw.gov.auHighly saline soils often become highly sodic. The ion imbalance and effect on the soil will depend on the type of salt present. Sodium and magnesium ions can destroy soil structure whereas calcium carbonate may improve soil structure (due to calcium) and increase soil pH (due to carbonate). Highly saline soils may have dark greasy patches

Soil Test Interpretation - Waypoint Analytical
www.waypointanalytical.comor sodic soils should only be performed with cation replacement. A calculated CEC will typically be inflated with these soil types. CATION SATURATION Cation saturation refers to the proportion of the CEC occupied by a given cation (an ion with a positive charge such as calcium, magnesium or potassium). The percentage saturation for each of
