Some important physico-chemical parameters of irrigation water of guava orchards in Prakasam district were evaluated for the criteria of the irrigation water quality. Thirty water samples were collected from three different mandals of the Prakasam district. The present study revealed that pH was neutral to moderately alkaline, Electrical Conductivity (EC) was high, Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) was low to medium and Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) was good to marginal. So, initiative must be taken to reduce salt accumulation in the soil through drainage and adopting the highly salt tolerant crops like cotton, mustard and tamarind for the better utilization of the land.
