| Abstract/Description: | Soil characteristics and hydraulic properties of six pedons of Vertisols of Upper Wardha command area were studied in relation to irrigation management. The soils are very deep, clayey (52.7 to 65.1 %), having water dispersible clay of 16.0 to 26.5 %, coefficient of linear extensibility (COLE) of 0.15 to 0.27 cm cm"' and saturated hydraulic conductivity (sHC) of 0.01 to 1.44 cm hr-I. These soils are non-saline (ECe < 4 dS rn-1) and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and exchangeable magnesium percentage (EMP) ranged from 1.9 to 17.5 and 29.7 to 46, respectively. Due to injudicious and faulty irrigation system since 1997, the problems of salt accumulation and development of sodicity have emerged in these soils. The reduction in the hydraulic conductivity, poor internal drainage and problems of performing agriculture on a sustainable basis may be attributed to development of sodicity in these soils. |
