The problems generated by high salinity water in irrigation
- Blocking of the becks, the drops and the pipes of the irrigation system by calcium carbonate deposits.
- Formation of a white crust at the point where the water falls, a phenomenon which appears on the ground especially near the root of the plant.
- Hardening (rock) of the soil because of the concentration of high calcium percentage in the soil. This results in inefficient soil permeatability, so the water does not easily reach the roots.
- Waste of irrigation water out of this reason.
- Lack of evapotranspiration.
- Clogging of nozzles cells as rootstock and capillary vessels of the trunk and the leaves.
- Reduced growth, low productivity and quality depending on the degree of salinity.
- Creation of fruit diseases, fungi and algae growth, as growth requires calcium substrate.
- Due to the crystallising of the ions of calcium carbonate by nature, calcium cannot be absorbed by the plant and this creates adverse conditions for its development.
Why does high salinity water create problems in irrigation?
All natural substances are soluble in water except calcium ions, which when heated and in particular over 65 degrees Celcius are transformed into calcium carbonate. The removal of calcium carbonate deposits can be done with strong acids (eg. hydrochloric acid). Another negative attribute with the calcium crystalization is the fact that they trap all others substances and most importantly nutrient ingridients, which are essential for the plant growth. Instead of the use of acid or other chemical toxic solutions, the use of the MAX GROW electronic devices is a much better, economical and effective solution.
THE PROBLEMS GENERATED BY HIGH SALINITY WATER IN IRRIGATION
• Clogging of the becks, the drops and the pipes of the irrigation system from calcium carbonate deposits.
• Creation of a white crust at the point where the water falls, a phenomenon which appears in the ground especially near the root of the plant.
• Hardening (rock) of the soil because of the concentration of high calcium percentage in the soil = soil permeability.
• Compulsory use of more water.
• Lack of evapotranspiration.
• Clogging of nozzles cells as rootstock and capillary vessels of the trunk and the leaves.
• Reduced growth, low productivity and quality depending on the degree of salinity (electrical conductivity Strength).
• Creation of fruit diseases, fungi and algae growth, as growth requires calcium substrate.
• Due to the crystallising of the ions of calcium carbonate by nature, calcium cannot be absorbed by the plant and this creates adverse conditions for its development

Another negative attribute with the calcium crystalization is the fact that they commit all others substances and most importantly nutrient ingridients, which are essential for the plant growth. Apart from the use of acid and other chemical toxic solution, is the use of electronic devices broadcasting lowfrequency radiowaves in various frequencies.
