Which element is responsible for causing soil salinity ? At what concentration does the soil become saline ?
Soil salinity is the salt content in the soil.
Salts are a natural component in soils and water.
The ions responsible for salination are : $\mathrm{Na}^{+}, \mathrm{K}^{+}, \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}, \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$.
Soil becomes saline at a high soluble salts concentration $(0.2 \%$ or above) or $500 \mathrm{ppm}$ sodium (sodic soil).
