Abstract
Soil salinity is a limiting factor for agricultural food production in Cuba. This study evaluates analytical methods for determining soluble salt content in soils. At the soil chemical analysis laboratory of the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Agrícolas (INCA), the rapid method is commonly used. However, the saturated paste method is internationally recommended as more effective. Considering this difference, soil samples were collected from areas with Gleysols, Vertisols, and Solonchak soils, which are predominantly composed of 2:1 type clay. Salt content was determined using both methods. Based on the results, a conversion coefficient of 3.927 was calculated between the two methods, allowing the rapid method to estimate salt content and, through the application of the coefficient, a value comparable to that provided by the saturated paste method can be obtained.
