 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out in Kalayat block of Kaithal district for measuring the effect of different quality of water on soil physico-chemical properties at different depths.  The ECe in most of the soil profiles decreased down the profile, i.e., highest being in surface layer (0-15 cm depth) and lowest at 45-60 cm soil depth. The pH of all soil profiles decreased with depth, the highest was found in surface layer (0-15 cm) and lowest at the depth of 45-60 cm. There was a decreasing trend in CEC with increase in depth. The distribution and concentration of major cations like Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+ and K+ and major anions like CO32-, HCO3-, Cl-, and SO42- showed a decreasing trend with depth in all profiles.

Key words: Saline, Alkali, ECe, CEC, ESP
