Agricultural Problems
Alkaline soils are difficult to take into agricultural production. Due to the low infiltration capacity, rain water stagnates on the soil easily and, in dry periods, cultivation is hardly possible without copius irrigated water and good drainage. Agriculture is limited to crops tolerant to surface waterlogging (e.g. rice, grasses) and the productivity is low.
