The major salts in saline soils are chloride and sulphates of sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium and these salts directly and indirectly interfere with various biological processes in the soil. The present study was conducted to know the effect of these salts on soil properties at soil science research farm, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar-125004 (Haryana) India. The study included twelve treatments viz. T1 (75 % RDF), T2 (recommended dose of fertilizers, RDF), T3 [75% RDF +ST-3 (Azotobacter chroococcum)], T4 (RDF +ST-3), T5 [75% RDF+ 2.5 t/ha Biogas slurry (BGS) + ST-3], T6 (RDF+ 2.5 t/ha BGS+ ST-3), T7 [75% RDF+ 2.5 t/ha Vermicompost (VC)+ ST-3], T8 (RDF+ 2.5 t/ha VC+ ST-3), T9 [75% RDF+ 10 t/ha farm yard manure (FYM) + Biomix], T10 (RDF+ 10 t/ha FYM+ Biomix), T11 (75% RDF+ 2.5 t/ha VC+ Biomix) and T12 (RDF+ 2.5 t/ha VC+ Biomix). The lowest mean total cations as well as anions has been found under treatment T10 viz. 15.87 and 16.63; and highest was observed under treatment T1 viz. 19.11 and 20.59 meq l-1, after harvest of pearl millet and wheat, respectively.
