Impact of EC and pH of soil water on agricultural practices in Noyyal River Basin is reported. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) mapping is proposed as an inexpensive cum precision tool for farmers to adopt and characterize soil within their farm fields in addition to the pH profile of the soil. Its relationship to crop yield, salt concentrations and water-holding capacity and pH is elaborately studied to understand parameters like yield maps and yield variation.
