| Abstract: | The amount of water available to plants in the absence of all physical restrictions except high salinity is measured for a saline soil profile. Procedures and calculations are described and examples given for the initial unreclaimed soil, which shows that when osmotic stresses are taken into account (using the EC of a saturated paste extract) the water available to plants is about 33% less than that predicted when salt is ignored. |
