The study involves the analysis of soil quality of an agricultural land of village Salarpur. Tehsil Tijara, District Alwar, Rajasthan, India.The village is surrounded by industrial area. The soil quality is expected to be affected by industrial pollutants.The soil quality analysis is a necessity before the crop is irrigated to meet the necessary requirements. The present study involves the analysis of soil quality of an agricultural land by collecting the samples at a fixed distance from each other in vertical direction of the field and also from different depths i.e. 0 to 1 cm and 1 to 5 cm. IS and APHA methods are followed for testing and estimation of soil quality parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, available N, P, K, organic carbon, C/N ratio and fluoride. The study indicates thatall of the soil samples are alkaline soils. With the depth of soil the mean values of parameters such as pH, EC, mean of concentration of available N, available P, Organic Carbon, Carbon Nitrogen ratio and Fluoride tend to increase but the increase is slight. Mean concentration of Potassium slightly decreases with the soil depth.Few parameters are differently correlated with each other at different depths and others show similar correlation at different depths.
