Irrigation with desalinated water helps address water stress, but it gradually weakens agricultural soils by promoting sodification and structural degradation. Without organic inputs, soil permeability decreases, roots become oxygen-deprived, and productivity declines.<\/p>

Agronomic limitations of desalinated water irrigation<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Even when desalinated water is of good quality, it presents several constraints for soils. Its low calcium and magnesium content weakens structural stability, while the presence of sodium (even at low concentrations) can, over time, cause clay dispersion, reduced permeability, and progressive root system suffocation. In addition, the total absence of organic matter deprives the soil of any biological and structural buffering effect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Without corrective action, prolonged irrigation with desalinated water can lead to gradual soil sodification, a decline in organic carbon, and reduced water infiltration. These combined effects result in progressive soil structure degradation and a loss of productivity observable within a few years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

EF Polymer provides a source of biodegradable organic carbon in irrigated soils that are typically deficient in it. Its gradual degradation stimulates microbial activity, promotes the production of natural biological binders, and sustainably reinforces soil structural stability while limiting sodium-related imbalances.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Thanks to its water retention capacity, EF Polymer improves water availability in soils weakened by structural degradation. By preserving pore openness and air and water circulation, it prevents root asphyxiation and allows roots to remain active and functional, even under sodic conditions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
