Abstract

Salt increase in a heavy clay soil due to capillary rise was simulated by an
analytical model and a numerical model. Predicted values were compared with
experimental data. The analytical model was inadequate in predicting
salinisation in a dynamic crop/soil system. When root growth was accounted
for, the numerical model satisfactorily predicted salt increase in the soil profile.
