Which consequence results when excessive irrigation saturates agricultural soils?

💡 Explanation

Salinization and waterlogging increase, because excessive irrigation causes leaching, which dissolves and transports nutrients away from plant roots; therefore minerals deplete, rather than stabilize, or increasing nitrogen and aggregate formation which require different conditions.
