A total of 9 industrial wastewater and 12 contaminated farm soil samples were collected directly from the farmers’ fields of Bhaluka area and analysed for this study. Considering EC, salinity and TDS, 56 to 89% wastewater samples were found problematic for long term irrigation. The concentration of CO 3 , HCO 3 and Cl in wastewater ranged from 0.20-1.60, 2.0-11.2 and 1.30-4.79 me L -1 , respectively and the content of Ca, Mg, Na and K in wastewater ranged from 16.03-52.10, 4.86- 21.87, 101.98-678.90 and 5.59-48.63 mg L -1 , respectively. The study results revealed that all wastewater samples were found unsuitable for irrigation in respect of CO 3 , HCO 3 and K. Among the heavy metals studied, Pb, Cd and Fe concentrations in all wastewater samples and Mn content in 5 samples were found above than the acceptable limit for irrigation.
