To investigate the effect of water magnetic treatment and irrigation water salinity on salt

leaching from salt affected soil (40.13dS m -1 ), a laboratory experiment was conducted

using soil columns filled with salt affected soil and leached by using 5 and 10 dS m -1

saline water and fresh water (control,1.56 dS m -1 ). The results showed a remarkable

decrease in EC values under all treatments. Concentrations of Na, Ca and Mg decrease

with increasing the number of pore volumes. The efficiency of magnetic treatment on

leaching soluble salts from soil is higher when using water of low salinity in comparison

with water of high salinity level.
