sodic
Rich in natrium
Sodic describes soil or water containing high levels of sodium.
Sodic soils have poor structure and drainage because sodium disperses clay particles, making the ground hard and impermeable when dry: Sodic conditions limit what crops can grow here.
The term appears in agriculture, geology, and environmental science.
Related to soda and sodium.
