Irrigation salinity – causes and impacts
management practices, varieties and soil fertility. Effect of waterlogging on salinity tolerance Waterlogging exacerbates the effect of salinity. Waterlogged plant roots are unable to exclude sodium and chloride due to the increased rates of transport of these ions, and concentrations in the plant shoot increase. Poor aeration also affects soil
