Results from this study demonstrated that crop response to salinity is regulated by soil texture. In silty clay loam soil, productivity did not decline, despite levels of salinity well above previously reported threshold tolerances for corn and soybean (1.7 and 5.0 dS m–1, respectively). Conversely, yield declined in sandy loam soils, but these patterns were opposite those reported in previous literature.
