Abstract:
The experiment was conducted during 2014-2015 at Dr. PDKV, Akola to evaluate the nutrient content and contribution of nutrients through irrigation water and to assess the effect of irrigation on soil properties in Purna Valley of Vidarbha in Akola district of Maharashtra. The water samples from ten bore wells were collected in the month of October 2014. Simultaneously soil samples were taken before and after irrigation in chickpea.
The quality of bore well water samples were found to be in S1C3 class. Amongst the cations the presence of Na > Ca> Mg >K, among the anions HCO3 > Cl >SO4. The SAR and Mg: Ca ratio falls in acceptable range whereas the Adj SAR was higher. As per the Kelley’s ratio, seven samples are unsuitable and three samples are suitable for irrigation, on the basis of permeability index water was suitable for irrigation. The residual sodium bicarbonate in all samples was above permissible limit whereas magnesium adsorption ratio of the seven bore wells are in acceptable range.
The results showed that the irrigation water contributes the nutrient in soil to the considerable extent i.e. nitrate N (1.1 to 1.31 kgha-1), K (3.7 to 6.43 kgha-1), Zn (0.07 to 0.15 mgkg-1), Cu (0.12 to 1.11 mgkg-1), Fe (0.26 to 0.64 mgkg-1) and Mn (0.044 to 0.056 mgkg-1) respectively in Chickpea. The irrigation water decreased hydraulic conductivity and increased bulk density.
