The purpose of this study was to determine the pH and electrical conductivity in soil of different villages of   barnala district (Punjab,India ) and their harmful effects on human health. Samples of soil were collected from agricultural fields of four different villages of barnala region such as Rure ke kalan, Gunas, Handiaya and cheema from five different layers(0-10 cm; 10-20 cm; 20-30 cm; 30-40 cm and 40-50 cm depth).There are three industrial sites in barnala district and these four villages are located near to these industial sites. In this study, adverse effect of different industries on fields of these four villages were investigated. Handiaya village has high values of pH and electrical conductivity while Gunas and Cheema villages have lowest value of electrical conductivity and pH respectively. when textile effluent reaches the soil or underground water it causes bad effect on human health such as people may suffer from alkalosis which is due to high pH and can lead to arrhythmia which means irregular heartbeat. Alkalosis can induce a coma, it may cause seizures and malfunctioning of kidneys. Due to large value of Electrical conductivity activity of soil micro-organism declines so, the important microbial processes, such as nitrogen cycling, production of nitrous and other N oxide gases, respiration, and decomposition; populations of plant-parasitic nematodes can increase; and increased nitrogen losses.

A survey of agricultural fields near Yamuna in Faridabad, Haryana was conducted to study the diversity and community structure of the soil inhabiting nematodes. A total of 32 genera belonging to 7 orders and 22 families were recorded. In terms of abundance, order Tylenchida was most abundant while in terms of number of genera, order Rhabditida was most frequent. Out of 32 genera, 10 viz., Pratylenchus, Psilenchus, Helicotylenchus, Hemicriconemoides, Hoplolaimus, Meloidogyne, Rotylenchulus, Tylenchorhynchus, Hirschmanniella, Xiphinema belonged to plant-parasitic nematodes. Overall Meloidogyne was the most abundant among all the nematode genera.

Awl nematodes were first described in 1914 from specimens collected at Silver Springs, Florida, and Douglas Lake, Michigan. Species of Dolichodorus are found worldwide, but two species, D. heterocephalus and D. miradvulvus, are the most common in Florida. Usually, awl nematodes are found in moist to wet soil, low areas of fields, and near irrigation ditches and other bodies of fresh water. Because these nematodes prefer moist to wet soils they rarely occur in agricultural fields and are not as well studied as many other plant-parasitic nematodes. This document is EENY-241, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
