What Does ESP Stand For?
ESP stands for Exchangeable Sodium Percentage Soils
Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESP) is a soil quality indicator that measures the proportion of sodium ions relative to the total cation exchange capacity of the soil. It is expressed as a percentage and is used to evaluate soil sodicity, which can affect soil structure, fertility, and water infiltration. High ESP values may lead to detrimental effects on plant growth and soil health, making it a critical factor in soil management and agricultural practices.
