Abstract: With the expansion of irrigated agriculture throughout the world, much land now saline or alkaline must be reclaimed. Reported herein are the results of both flushing and leaching salts from a saline-alkali soil in the Coachella Valley of California’s Colorado Desert. The paper presents a quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of removing a salt crust by flushing, and it compares the removal of the usual salts with the removal of a high concentration of boron.
