Abstract: The experiment was conducted on “Physio-chemical properties of soil in kinnow orchard in irrigated area of sriganganagar district in rajasthan” during April, 2016 to April, 2017. The ninety soil samples with three depths i.e., 0-30, 30-60 and 60-90 cm were collected from thirty kinnow orchards from different five tehsil (suratgarh, Raisinghnagar, sri vijaynagar, sri karanpur and sriganaganagar) of sriganganagar district. The soil samples were analyzed for physio-chemical property of kinnow orchards being grown at farmer’s field. The kinnow orchard soils in this investigation were found the results showed that the pH and electrical conductivity of soil samples decreased with increasing soil depth, whereas, reverse trend was observed in calcium carbonate content. The kinnow orchard soils were found low in organic carbon.
