Physico-chemical properties of soil around aqua ponds were studied during 2018-19 (pre and post-monsoon) to assess the extent of soil pollution due to aquaculture in three different mandals namely Karlapalem, Nizampatnam and Repalle of Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. For estimating status of soils of mandals under study, the parameters studied were pH, electrical conductivity, CEC, exchangeable sodium percentage, organic carbon, available nitrogen, available phosphorus available potassium, available sulphur, calcium, magnesium, micronutrients (Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu) and heavy metals (Cr, Pb, Cd). The present investigation revealed that all soil samples collected in three mandals studied did not show any sign of soil pollution except soil salinization and excess sodium.
