Challenges of Saline Soils
Salinity affects nutrient absorption. El Meir offers specialized fertilization solutions for saline soils.
Nutrition Problems in Saline Soils
- Reduced potassium absorption due to sodium
- Calcium unavailability
- Phosphorus fixation
- Micronutrient deficiency
Nutrition Strategies
- Increase potassium rates by 50%
- Use calcium nitrate
- Soluble phosphorus fertilizers
- Chelated micronutrients
Role of Organic Matter
Adding compost improves soil structure and reduces salinity impact, as applied by Akika in its farms.
