The salt content of soil has increased in Kabir's farm and is harming the crops. What could be the main reason for this, even though he is not spraying salty water

• Root salts are naturally present in variable amounts in every plant species. This explains how some plants can survive after others have died. No matter how much water is applied, if the soil's saline level is high enough, the plant will wilt and eventually die.
• Because salinity interferes with nitrate uptake, stunts development, and prevents plant reproduction, it has an impact on the production of pastures, trees, and crops. Some ions, most notably chloride, are poisonous to plants, and when their concentration rises, the plant becomes poisoned and perishes.
• The salt that is left behind when the water evaporates prevents plant roots from absorbing water, which stunts growth and contaminates drinking water supplies.
