Management
Low salt fertilizers should be used and only at
recommended rates. Some leaching of the container
soil should occur at each irrigation to prevent the
problem. If the problem is caused by saline irrigation
water and a cleaner water source cannot be found, the
soil should not be allowed to dry out and/or only salt
tolerant species of palms should be grown. If the
condition already exists, the soil should be leached
thoroughly several times to remove excess salts.
