Abstract

For some time, the SAR-ESP relationship established by the United States Salinity Laboratory Staff (1954) has been used to estimate the ESP value from the cationic composition of the soil solution. Such a relationship obviously derives its value from its general applicability, although it is only an approximation. In discussing the a priori probability of the existence of a SAR-ESP relationship of general validity, several aspects present themselves.
