Because ions in water conduct electrical current, electrical conductivity (EC) is a fast, simple method of estimating the amount of total soluble salts in a soil sample. To measure a soil's conductivity, a weighed soil sample is mixed with water to form a saturated paste; the liquid is then removed by pressure or suction filtration and the conductivity of this extract is measured in millimhos per centimeter.
