salt stripping Explanation: In Collazo one of the meanings of "lavado" is "stripping" and it certainly seems to apply in this case. As it states in the second step, it needs a lot of irrigation to make sure the salt does not make it up to the surface level - to avoid its rise. This conveys the idea of "stripping", not simply "washing" and hence retaining. |

peer agreement (net): +2salt leaching Explanation: Leaching is the term used by agronomists to describe the removal of salts, or any other soluble material for that matter, from the soil by water moving through it. Every soil type is different as to its ability to retain various chemicals or break them down; in general, excessive use of commercial fertilizers year after year causes salt buildup in the soil, and in some soils this problem is worse than others, and in others, like the ones in part 2, the excess salt can actually come to the surface, like a wick soaks up oil in an oil lamp, and kill the plants, unless sufficient water is used to leach it out. |
