Abstract:

Soil quality is a measure of the condition of soil. Soil quality reflects how well a soil performs the functions of maintaining biodiversity and productivity. Soil management has a major impact on soil quality. Soil properties are affected by past land use, current activities on the site, and nearness to pollution sources. Keeping in view the importance of soil quality which is quite useful for agricultural purposes, it is proposed to characterise the soils for physicochemical parameters Viz., pH, Electric Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Hardness, Total Alkalinity, Chloride, Sulphate, Nitrate, Phosphate, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium and to determine the irrigation parameters like Percent Sodium, Sodium Adsorption Ratio, Kelly’s Ratio and Magnesium Hazard to verify the quality for irrigation purpose particularly in mangrove region of East Godavari Region.
