Increased Leaching Requirements Allow the Use of Source Water High in Salts for Plant Growth
Growers have different capabilities to alleviate salt stress in the growing substrate. One method to reduce substrate salt levels is to increase the volume of water applied during irrigation. This increases the leaching fraction (LF) which is the volume of water that drains from the growing substrat...
