Technically you do not "neutralize" salts in soils. What you want to do is dissolve and remove them.
For container plants, flush repeatedly with fresh clean water.
Considerable amounts of water are needed for flowerbeds, lawns, gardens or large plots of land in most parts of the world. Fields are normally irrigated with enough water to dissolve and wash the salts out of the root zone for the plants you are growing.
It is also very important to know whether any of the salts are sodium salts. If sodium salts are present (this is a saline-sodic soil) in a garden, yard or farm field, the sodium must first be displaced by another cation, like calcium, before flushing the soil with water. Gypsum is typically added to supply the calcium. If this is not done first, the soil structure will be ruined, and the field or garden will have to be flooded again after calcium is supplied to it, wasting time, money and soil productivity.
Another (longer term) idea...In Australia where there is a problem of sodic soils there are plantings of certain species that absorb the salt into their leaves to reduce the level in the soil. These can then be culled and the soil used. This may not be practical on a small scale though! Or if your in a hurry! The types of plants used are saltbushes, atriplex, myoporums, and some melaleucas although all countries have their own salt - tolerant species. Most are fast growing and small. In the meantime you could try growing asparagus... you are supposed to add salt when planting!

A name for saturated soil?
Another name for saturated soil could be soil liquefaction.
What is the level below which the soil is saturated called?
The level below which the soil is saturated is called the water table. This is the level at which the soil and rock are saturated with water and below which the spaces between soil particles are filled with water.
What is partially saturated soil?
Partially saturated soil is soil in which some of the pore spaces are filled with water while others contain air. This condition occurs when the soil is not fully saturated with water, leaving some space for air to be present.
What is saturated unit weight of soil?
The saturated unit weight of soil is the weight of soil per unit volume when all pore spaces are filled with water. It is commonly used in geotechnical engineering to characterize the density of saturated soil samples during testing.
What is the difference between saturated and submerged soil?
when the voids of soil are just filled by water the soil mass is called saturated and when soil mass is submerged in water means the water level is above the the soil level or soil mass is drowned in water then soil mass is called submerged.
How does slaked lime help in the treatment of acidic soil?
Slaked lime, also known as calcium hydroxide, helps neutralize acidity in soil by increasing the soil's pH level. It reacts with acidic compounds in the soil to form water and a neutralized salt. This process helps improve soil structure and makes essential nutrients more available to plants.
What Do You Think That Should Add To The Soil To Neutralize The Effect Of Acidity And Basicity?
To neutralize the effects of acidity, you can add materials like agricultural lime (calcium carbonate) or wood ash to raise the soil's pH. To neutralize basicity, you can add materials like elemental sulfur or pine needles to lower the pH of the soil. It's important to perform a soil test to determine the appropriate amendments needed for your specific soil conditions.
What is phytoremediation?
In polluted soil or water areas, this is used to neutralize contamination.
How can I fix grass that has been killed by salt?
To fix grass that has been killed by salt, you can try flushing the area with water to dilute the salt, aerating the soil to improve drainage, and reseeding or replanting the grass. It may also help to add organic matter to the soil to improve its health and resilience.
What is a soil moisture surplus?
The soil in a region is saturated, and rainfall is greater than the need for the moisture.
Can you neutralize a yard sterilizer?
It may be difficult to fully neutralize a yard sterilizer once it has been applied. You can try diluting it by watering the area heavily or adding organic matter to the soil to help break it down over time. It is best to avoid using yard sterilizers if possible to prevent harming beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
What is Sudden movement of soil saturated with water?
mud slides
