Abstract:

The characterization of sewage irrigated soils in Warangal city, was undertaken during July 2014 to June 2015. Various physico chemical and biological characteristics were assessed and analyzed to understand the pollution in the soil. Soil colour varied from light red to dark brown. The field capacity, % of pore space, conductivity was maximum during winter. The pH range was 7.0 to 7.5 slight alkaline natures.

Keywords:

Sewage Irrigated Soils, Physico Chemical and Biological Characterization, Heavy Metals.
