| Abstract: | Studies were conducted on the effects of waters of different quality on the chemical characteristics of 74 surface and subsurface soils of the Nagaur district, Rajasthan. The electrical conductivity (EC) of the saturation extract of these sandy and loamy sand soils were found to be less than that of the irrigation water. Correlations were observed between EC and the constituent ions (Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ of the irrigation water and of the saturation extract of the soil samples. The pH values of the irrigation water and soil suspensions also showed a positive correlation. The carbonate and bicarbonate ion concentrations in both the irrigation water and the saturation extract of the soils correlated with their respective pH values. EC of both the irrigation water and the saturation extract from surface and subsurface soil layers correlated with total cations. Correlations between the chemical characteristics of the irrigation water and the saturation extract of the soils are of limited value for prediction purposes, due to other factors operating under field conditions. |
