Abstract

The .Present llaper deals with the llhysico-chemical data of 13 rainfed and drain able dry
bundhs of Bhihvara district, Rajasthan (India). All the dry bundhs studied showed a slightly
alkaline pH ranging from 7.5 to 8.5. Ek-ctrical conductivity ranged from 2 to 8 millimhos/cm.
Organic carbon in sediment fluctuated from 0.30 to 0. 75%. Nitrogen, llhosphate and potassium
levels ·were fairly good, at 30 to 50 and 24 to 36 mg/100 g of soil res1lectively. Based on
these data it was inferred that these dry bundhs were highly lli'Oductive and suitable for
freshwater fish culture.
