Salinity develops in greenhouses and open fields due to improper fertilization, leading to yield losses in production. Soil salinity increases as a result of excessive irrigation and unbalanced fertilization practices. Over time, these soils become barren and unproductive, making it difficult for plants to utilize water. This condition causes root burn, stunted fruit growth, and impaired plant development. Flowering, apical growth, and fruit enlargement slow down. Therefore, if a calcium compound is applied to soil containing high levels of exchangeable sodium—resulting from improper fertilization—the soil's physical condition improves as calcium displaces the sodium on soil colloids. Consequently, improved soil aeration and easier water movement within the soil enable plants to thrive.
