How It Works

Calculate exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) from sodium on the cation exchange complex to diagnose sodic soils and plan gypsum amendment rates

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Sodium on the cation exchange complex — The sodium on the cation exchange complex recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the esp calculator result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the sodium on the cation exchange complex for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) from sodium on the cation exchange complex to diagnose sodic soils and plan gypsum amendment rates. Use the esp calculator result to inform your clinical assessment.
