Congratulations to Richard Wilkins and several others for correctly identifying the sneaky cause of these stunted plants as salt injury. I fear this is something that we will need to be increasingly vigilant about and make some choices as to whether to try to remediate damage or to set aside the portion of the field into some sort of conservation program. Dr. Jarrod Miller has been studying saltwater intrusion into fields and is a tremendous resource for anyone facing this problem, he can be reached at jarrod@udel.edu.
