Abstract
LACK of good quality water in many parts of Western Australia often forces people to use salty water for irrigation and gardening.
This article gives some hints on how to reduce salt damage to plants when salty water must be used for irrigation or gardening.
It includes a table of plants which may be irrigated with water of varying degrees of salinity and lists precautions which should be taken for each group.
