The industrial and technological progress for economic benefits has been imposing negative impact on the environment, in terms of its degradation and pollution. To find the effect of the industrial effluent on agricultural soil this study was conducted on impacted and non-impacted soil of two areas i.e. Sanganer and Durgapura respectively of Jaipur district. The soil quality was analyzed by estimation of physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity(EC), water holding capacity, texture analysis, organic carbon, organic matter, total hardness, sodium, potassium concentration, sodium adsorption ratio(SAR), cation exchange capacity(CEC) using standard protocols. The results showed a significant difference between pH, EC, Water holding capacity, total hardness, SAR, CEC of both the soil, inferring the impact of industrial effluent on the quality of soil. Thus, to protect the deterioration soil quality, control on such industrial pollution assumes greater significance which can be assured by planned industrialization.
