Abstract. Water is a crucial resource for agriculture, and soil quality plays a vital role in its utilization. This study analyzes the soil quality of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, for irrigation management purposes. This paper explores the potential to evaluate soil chemical properties of Jodhpur city. Soil quality is a critical aspect of agriculture, affecting plant growth, yield, and ultimately, the quality of the crops produced. Soil quality testing and control are essential for ensuring optimal conditions for plant growth and minimizing the adverse effects of soil degradation. This paper reviews recent studies on evaluating soil chemical properties and discusses the potential applications and challenges of these approaches. The review highlights the potential to improve our understanding of soil health and fertility and to inform more sustainable land management practices. This research paper explores the soil quality testing and control, including the benefits, challenges, and future prospects of this technology. The study collected soil samples from different locations in Jodhpur and analyzed them for various soil quality parameters. The results show that the soil in Jodhpur is alkaline and has a low organic matter content. The study recommends the use of organic manure to improve soil quality for better irrigation management in Jodhpur. Soil quality is an essential factor for agricultural productivity, and its management is critical for sustainable agriculture. This study analyzes the chemical quality of soil for irrigation management in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Soil samples were collected from different locations and analyzed for various chemical parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), available nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), and available potassium (K). The results show that the soil in Jodhpur is alkaline, with a pH range of 7.8 to 8.5. The EC values were low, indicating low salinity. The available N, P, and K values were also low, indicating a need for soil nutrient management. The study recommends measures for improving soil quality for sustainable irrigation management in Jodhpur.
