  1. Oak Hill Case Soil Chemical Problems

  3. Water Deficits Ion Toxicities SALT -RELATED PROBLEMS Ion Imbalances Soil Permeability

  4. Water deficits reflect salinity problems from salt concentrations Soil permeability reflects sodicity problemsfrom sodium concentrations

  5. Salinity A measure of the salt concentration of water

  6. Common Salt Ions Ca2+ K+ NO3- HCO3- Mg2+ Cl- Na+ CO32- SO42-

  7. Salinity Measurement • Measured as the electrical conductivity of water (ECw) • Expressed as decisiemens per meter (dS/m); formerly as mmhos/cm.

  9. Transpiration High salt concentration

  12. Sodicity A measure of the sodium [Na+] concentration in relation to the calcium [Ca+2] and magnesium [Mg+2] concentrations of water

  13. Sodicity Measurement • Measured as the sodium absorption ratio of water (SARw) • Expressed as the ratio: Na+/ ([Ca+2 + Mg+2]/2) 1/2 • Where the concentration of each ion is expressed in milliequivalents per liter (meq/L)

  14. Problem With a water-quality report providing sodium, calcium, and magnesium concentrations as 76, 146, and 39 mg/L, how do we express these in meq/L?

  15. Atomic Weights

  16. Atomic Weights

  17. Sodium: 76 mg/L / 23 mg/meq = 3.3 meq/L Calcium: 146 mg/L / 20 mg/meq = 7.3 meq/L Magnesium: 39 mg/L / 12 mg/meq = 3.2 meq/L SARW = 3.3/ ([7.3+3.2]/2) 1/2 = 3.3/(5.25) 1/2 = 3.3/2.29 = 1.44

  19. Problem With a water-quality report providing a bicarbonate concentration of 366 mg/L, how do we express this in meq/L and what is its significance?

  20. Residual Sodium Carbonate RSC = [CO3-2] + [HCO3-] - [Ca+2] + [Mg+2] Where [ ] = ion concentrations in milliequivalents per liter (meq/L)

  21. Atomic Weights

  22. Residual Sodium Carbonate RSC = [0] + [6.0] - [7.3] - [3.2] = -4.5

  23. RSC Hazard
