A fertilizer solution with 0.1M Na+ and 0.05M Ca2+ is applied over a long period of time to a soil. The soil is then irrigated and the leachate has a 0.05M Na+ concentration. What is the Ca2+ concentration in the leachate if the ratio of Na to Ca on the solid is unchanged? g. Relate irrigation to: i. Soil salinity. ii. Soil sodicity.
