Calculated values were compared with depth-averagedmeasurements made in saturated pastes from soil samples taken at three soil depths during the growingseason of 2008. SALTIRSOIL predicts reasonably well ion composition, pH and electrical conductivity ofsaturation extracts in these studied horticultural soils irrigated by surface systems. Nevertheless, in order tocarry out a more complete validation, more plots and crop species are necessary. PB International Union of Soil Sciences.
