Excerpt from Managing Saline Soils in the Red River Valley of the North: April 1976
Saline soils (fig. 1) develop when dissolved salts in the soil increase the osmotic value of the soil solu tion and reduce the amount of water available to plants. Salts can also disturb plant metabolism and alter soil physical and chemical characteristics. In the moderately saline areas, barley and hay crops of alfalfa, clover, and bromegrass are grown. The highly saline areas are most often used for pasture or native grass hayland, although some are cultivated.
