1) Improved drainage

In any field, poor drainage potentially induces salinity problems. The improvement consists in the installation of a drainage network, lawn maintenance practices to break impermeable layers, improving aeration and enhancing percolation.

2) Salt wash

Considering that turfgrass absorbs practically pure water, salt levels increase if no periodic leaching irrigation is carried out.

Leaching fraction = ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– x 100

to maintain soil salinity.

Soil conductivity should be at most equal to the tolerance of the turfgrass used.

3) Water mixture

Important for achieving acceptable quality.

4) Water more frequently

To offset the increase in salt concentration and lack of water availability for the lawn, we must maintain a higher moisture level in the soil as a short-term solution for periods of stress and waiting for periods in which, due to irrigation or rainfall, leaching may have occurred.

5) Selection of appropriate species depending on the conductivity of soil solution:
