In soil, salinity is caused by the accumulation of salts from irrigation water, rainwater, and the weathering of rocks. High levels of salinity can damage plants and make it difficult for them to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Salinity can be caused by a number of factors, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Irrigation with water that contains high levels of dissolved salts<\/li>\n<li>Rainfall that contains high levels of dissolved salts<\/li>\n<li>The weathering of rocks that contain high levels of dissolved salts<\/li>\n<li>The use of fertilizers that contain high levels of dissolved salts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Salinity can have a number of negative effects on plants, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduced growth<\/li>\n<li>Reduced yield<\/li>\n<li>Increased susceptibility to pests and diseases<\/li>\n<li>Death<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Salinity can be managed in a number of ways, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drainage<\/li>\n<li>Leaching<\/li>\n<li>Amendments<\/li>\n<li>Irrigation with low-salinity water<\/li>\n<li>Crop rotation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Acidification is the process by which soil becomes more acidic.
