Abstract

The pH, electrical conductivity (ECe), gypsum requirement (GR), exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) decreased, while organic carbon and cation exchange capacity (CEC) increased under various cropping models indicating that chemical properties of soil were considerably improved. Among various cropping models, guava + phalsa + ber had best ameliorative effect on chemical properties of sodic soil than others.
