Improper agricultural practices, intensive farming with monoculture cropping pattern are responsible for deterioration of soil quality. To overcome the adverse effect of current cultivation practices, sustainable agricultural practices should be adopted. The evaluation of soil health status of Aurangabad district has been carried out with 240 surface soil samples from 12 villages of 3 blocks. The soil was analyzed for various soil fertility parameters such as pH, EC, organic matter and availability of NPK. The soils of Aurangabad district are moderately alkaline in nature with a mean value of pH 7.89. The soils are good soil with EC ranging from 0.2 to 1.70 dS/m with mean of 0.74 dS/m in Aurangabad district. The soils of Sillod block, 27.5 per cent, have to face seed emergence problem due to higher EC. The organic carbon content of soils of Aurangabad is low, mean value being 0.39 per cent. The half of the soil of Aurangabad district is having low organic carbon less than 0.40 per cent. The available nitrogen of soils of Aurangabad is low, with mean of 158.39 kg/ha. It is remarkably very low in Sillod and Aurangabad blocks. Part of Aurangabad, 52.08 per cent is very low in available phosphorus content, whereas 38.75 per cent soils have low available phosphorus content. They are very rich in potassium with a mean value of 443.60 kg/ha.There is dire need of improvement in soil organic carbon by using organic manures including intercropping, mixed cropping and adopting integrated nutrient management programme.Keywords

To study thze quality of irrigation water from Ahmedpur tehsil, the present investigation was carried out during the year 2010-2011. Total three hundred ground water samples were collected from 30 villages of Ahmedpur tehsil periodically in two season's i.e. summer season (May, 2010) and winter season (October, 2010). The ground water samples were analyzed for its composition and parameters like pH, EC, cations (Na+ and K+), anions (Cl-, SO4- and boron). Soil samples were also collected from the same places of Ahmedpur tehsil, with a view to studying the changes in chemical properties of soil viz., pH and EC. The water samples were alkaline in nature with dominance of sodium and sulphates. Majority of the well waters were higher in salinity class, indicating moderate suitability for irrigation. Among the cations Na+ was dominant in water followed by K+. The relative proportion of anions were in the sequence of SO4→Cl-. The boron concentration of irrigation water ranged from 0.90 (winter) to 1.07 (summer) ppm which was moderately safe (C2) for irrigation. Irrigating the soils with such water, average pH and EC of soils were changed accordingly in summer and winter season.Keywords

The research experiment was carried out to study the effect of clinoptilolite zeolite on the yield of oyster mushroom (P. Sajor caju). Different proportions of Zeolite was added to substrate (Paddy straw) and it was observed that, addition of 10 g Zeolite in substrate resulted 733.68 g/kg yield, addition of 20 g zeolite produces 764.30 g/kg yield and with addition of 30 g zeolite in substrate resulted 815.20 g/kg yield of mushroom.Keywords
