Detailed explanation-1: -Electrical Conductivity (EC) – a measure of soluble salts within the soil. As the concentration of soluble salts increases, the EC of the soil extract increases. EC is expressed in dS/m, mS/cm, or mmho/cm (all equal). Electrical conductivity is directly related to the total dissolved solids in the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is salinity? Salinity is the dissolved salt content of a body of water. It is a strong contributor to conductivity and helps determine many aspects of the chemistry of natural waters and the biological processes within them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Salinization of soil is an excessive accumulation of water-soluble salts. Typically, it is table salt NaCl. The list is far more extensive and includes various compounds of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfates, chlorides, carbohydrates, and bicarbonates.
