The main objective is to recover the saline soil for the Dent corn crop,

through the application of irrigation water, where the present investigation

is to evaluate the salinity conditions of the rural property "María Laura"
located in Los Cerritos, Virú Valley, with aims of recovering 100% of the
soil, which has been affected by salinity, to give a better production of the
crop and improve the quality of the soil.

The best alternative of solution that allows to establish in an economical,

practical and simple way to recover the soil is through the application of
irrigation water, since the water is economical in this area of the Virú
valley, and since its water table is below of 2.50 meters does not need
another recovery alternative such as drainage.

Previously, laboratory analyzes were carried out with the purpose of

detecting the level of salinity found in the terrain, these tests were carried
out taking into account the indicated parameters. With the results obtained
from soil samples (pH, texture, Ec, SAR, ESP, anions and cations) and
water (pH and Ec), it was possible to determine what volume of water
should be applied to the land, this type of research saw feasible since the
land was in time of rest to change of crop.

The correction irrigation water that is applied is the sum of the irrigation
water plus the washing sheet; since first the soil must be saturated to later
wash this, and thus a desired result can be achieved. The most efficient
irrigation water for this terrain and crop is 54 cm, since we must take into
account the salinity tolerance of the Dent corn crop.
