How Over Irrigation Wreaks Havoc On Your Soil Health
Over-irrigation damages soil through various mechanisms. It leaches soluble salts, increasing soil salinity and hindering plant growth. Excess water saturation deprives roots of oxygen, leading to hypoxia and poor nutrient uptake. Waterlogging weakens soil structure, causing erosion and nutrient leaching. Over-watering also compacts soil, reducing porosity and hindering water and air movement, creating anaerobic zones…
