 ABSTRACT

In this study, samples were collected from sewage and tube well water irrigated soil of various sites like Kaithal, Narwana and Jind district of Haryana state where these waters are directly used for irrigating the crops. Soil samples (0-15 and 15-30 cm) were also collected from fields irrigated with these waters and from nearby fields irrigated with non-sewage waters to determine the changes in soil chemical properties due to sewage irrigation. The mean value of pH (8.38) was found highest in the soils irrigated with sewage water of Jind. The mean value of EC (0.46 dSm-1) was found highest in the soils irrigated with sewage water of Jind. The mean value of SOC (0.91%) was found highest in soils irrigated with sewage water of Kaithal. The mean value of CaCO3 (3.57%) was found highest in the soils irrigated with sewage water of Narwana. The mean value of CEC (14.89 cmol (+) kg-1) was found highest in the soils irrigated with sewage water of Kaithal. The mean value of Ca2+ (7.69) was found highest in the soils irrigated with sewage water of Jind.  The mean value of Mg2+ (3.89) and Na+ (1.82) was found highest in the soils irrigated with sewage water of Kaithal. The mean value of K + (0.94) was found highest in the soils irrigated with sewage water of Narwana.

Keywords:CaCO3, CEC, EC, OC, pH and Sewage water
