A field experiment was conducted in sandy soil on mustard (Brassica juncea) with three levels of Zinc (Zn) viz. 0, 15 and 30 kg ZnSo4/hac and three levels of saline water irrigation (S) viz. 0.81, 8.05 and 12.09 dSm-1. Basal dose of N, P and K were @ 80 kg N/ha, 60 kg P2O5/ha, 40 kg K2O/hac respectively. Post harvest analysis of soil samples revealed that the DTPA-extractable zinc increased, significantly, with increase in zinc levels and decreased significantly with increase in saline water irrigation levels. The pH, EC, cation (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+) and anion (SO42-, Cl-, HCO3-, CO32-) of soil samples ,after harvest, increased with increase in saline water irrigation levels , There was no effect observed in these with increase in zinc levels except potassium (K+). Key words: Raya (Brassica juncea), Zinc, Saline water, EC, pH, Cation and Anion
