hinder the absorption of water by the plant roots, so that even when 

 the soil is quite wet the plants may actually be suffering from lack of 

 water. This is doubtless one of the chief reasons why seeds germinate 

 more slowly where alkali is present. The chlorid type of white alkali 

 is somewhat more harmful to most crop plants than the sulphate 

 type. The bicarbonates as such do not appear to be very injurious, 

 but there is always danger where bicarbonates are present that black 

 alkali will be formed by chemical action.
