AB - A validation exercise of the SALTIRSOIl model developed to predict average major ion content, pH and
electrical conductivity in soils under risk of salinisation, has been carried out in two irrigated horticultural
subplots cropped to water melon and pepper . Calculated values were compared with depth-averaged
measurements made in saturated pastes from soil samples taken at three soil depths during the growing
season of 2008. SALTIRSOIL predicts reasonably well ion composition, pH and electrical conductivity of
saturation extracts in these studied horticultural soils irrigated by surface systems. Nevertheless, in order to
carry out a more complete validation, more plots and crop species are necessary.
