Summarize the differences between how the salt-sensitive plant cell and the salt-resistant plant cell behave in the 10% salt solution. Suppose a farmer has contacted you for advice on how to avoid and manage problems related to soil salinity. What advice would you provide to the farmer?

Most fields that are irrigated year after year will eventually build up salt in the soil as water regularly evaporates and leaves some salt behind. One way farmers minimize this salt build up is to flood their fields every few years before planting. This flood water leaches out the salt in the soil. What advantages and disadvantages do you see in this approach?
