A study was carried out to quantify the effect of SAR and TEC of equilibrating solution on water retention characteristics and water constants of clay (Typic Chromustert), clay loam (Vertic Ustropect) and silt loam Lythic Ustorthent) soils of maharashtra. Soil samples were equilibrated with twenty four water quality combinations comprising six levels of sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) viz. 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 m mol 1/2 L-1/2 and four levels of total electrolyte concentration (TEC) viz. 5, 10, 20 and 50 meL-1 synthesised using chloride salts of calcium. magnesium and sodium at Ca : Mg
