Although several other studies on drinking-water sodium were performed in in the last 3 decades of the 20th century--mainly analyzing the salinizing effects of certain water softeners (e.g., Calabrese and Tuthill 1985; Hofman et al.

Solubility and salinity index of fertilizers used as source of macronutrients for the preparation of salinizing solution.

When evaluating the salt tolerance of plants, it is important to recognize that the results can be affected by the composition of the salts used in salinizing the plant growth medium.

Steppuhn's technologies have generated the new concept of extracting near-surface, salinizing water for agricultural uses such as irrigating shelterbelt vegetation in severely-saline soils.
