Question

    Saline soil having

    (A) pH<8.5

    (B) E.C.>4

    (C) ESP<15

    (D) Physical condition - Flocculated

    Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

    A (A), (B), (C) only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (B), (C), (D) only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (A), (D), (C) only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (A), (B), (C), (D) only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Saline soils have an electrical conductivity of the saturation soil extract of more than 4 dS/m at 25°C, pH value of the saturated soil paste is always less than 8.2 and more often near neutrality, ESP is less than 15 and are usually flocculated and water permeability is good.
