Author(s): D. C. Patel, K. P. Damor

Soil pollution is one of the current environment problems of the world wide. Today the contamination of soil by repeated use or excess of same fertilizer, inadequate drainage system in agriculture field, sparing excessive insecticides and herbicide and most the man-made cause is the application of soft water in irrigation (surface or ground water) containing relatively high proportion of sodium bicarbonates and less calcium and magnesium are main reason to soil pollution. We take some soil sample of northern Gujarat region and check alkalinity by Physicochemical test by pH meter scale and treat with suitable remedies gypsum to maintain soil alkalinity.
