No adverse effect on soil compaction and strength. Increases soil permeability Sodium may accumulate in soil Breaks down soil structure, increases erosion. Causes soil compaction which decreases permeability. Vegetation Little or no adverse effect. May stimulate roadside plant growth.
Acetate ion is the most abundant organic acid metabolite found in nature.
Osmotic stress and soil compaction harm root systems. Spray causes foilage dehydration damage. Many plant species are salt sensitive. Groundwater Poor mobility in soil, unlikely to reach groundwater. Ca, Mg increases water hardness.
