Abstract At the end of a column experiment studying the flux of ionic salts and Na + from applied sewage effluent, the salt, Na + , and Ca 2+ contents were compared in extracts from porous cups, from the soils around the cups, and saturated paste extracts after the column soils were air‐dried. The salt level in the porous cup samples and in the moist soil samples obtained directly at the end of the experiment, and the Na + content in the porous cup and in saturated paste extracts that were equilibrated for 48 hours were highly correlated.
