3.3 Soil salt ions To investigate the effects of different treatments on soil ion content in saline cotton fields ( Tables 2 – 4 ), the results demonstrated that salt concentration, irrigation method, and their interaction had highly significant effects ( P < 0.05) on the concentrations of Ca2 + , Mg2 + , K + , Na + , HCO 3 - , Cl - , and SO 4 2 - in the 0~20 cm soil layer.
