ABSTRACT
Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of different RSC waters, zinc and iron on the properties of soil on farmer's field near Jobner during rabi seasons of 2001-02 and 2002-03. The experiment comprising of 36 treatment combination replicated four times was laid out in split plot design with 4 levels of RSC waters (control, 4, 8, 12 mmol L-1) in main plots and 3 levels of zinc (0, 25, 50 kg ZnSO4 ha-1) and 3 levels of iron (0, 50, 100 kg FeSO4 ha-1) in sub plots. Results revealed that under the application of 12 mmol L-1 RSC of irrigation water, ECe , available Zn and Fe in post-harvest soil was decreased significantly while, pH , ESP and CaCO3 increased significantly during both the years and in pooled analysis . The application of Zn and Fe significantly decreased the CaCO3 content of the soil while, available Zn and Fe content of the soil were increased significantly at harvest of the crop during both the years and pooled.
Key words :
CaCO3, ECe, ESP, Iron, pH, RSC, Synthetic irrigation water, Wheat, Zinc.
