sodium carbonate whereas salt is sodium chloride.


Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) is a salt. Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is table
salt, but there are many other salts.

Are all sodiums bad for soil or just in significant quantities or
what?


I would imagine that Sodium Carbonate would be just as harmful
as Sodium Chloride.


Thanks for the response. Do you know what type of salts are involved
in dryland salinity?
