Abstract


Halomorphic or salted soils are often characterised by high concentration of salts. They develop under imperfect drainage conditions in arid and semi-arid regions. The chemical characteristics and the intensity of alkalinity met with in the soils of T. V. S. Farm, Samaya- nallur, were studied in detail and suitable recommendations made. The suitability or otherwise of the well waters of the farm was also pointed out from the detailed analysis of water samples.
