Poor quality underground irrigation water occurs in most arid and semiarid regions. This water contains not only excessive amounts of soluble salts but also fluoride (F) from traces to 30 mg/1 in India, but usually the concentration of F is below 5 mg/1 (Gupta, 1979). The effect of F on plants is not well known but plants accumulate it when it is present in the soil or applied through irrigation water. Singh, Chhabra & Abrol (1980) found that soil-applied F at 50 mg/kg was toxic to rice and 32 mg/kg tissue content of F was toxic to wheat. Paliwal (1972) found that F content in berseem increased from 18·1 to 52·7 mg/kg when the crop was irrigated with F contaminated water. He further found that 10 mg F/kg inhibited germination and growth of wheat seedlings, and whilst low concentrations of F may not be toxic to plants they may be hazardous to animals continuously fed on fodders containing fluoride.The effect of fluoride-rich saline water on the yield and F content of fodder oats has therefore been determined.

The paper presents the results of a study on the use of soda production sludge (SPS) as a lime soil conditioner. SPS with a less than 0.1 mm fraction is the most suitable in terms of physical, chemical, and toxicological properties and meets the requirements of GOST-14050-93 «Limestone (dolomite) dust. Specifications» on the content of the active substance, the mass fraction of calcium and magnesium carbonates. Reclamative properties of SPS were studied on soil samples taken in the territory removed from the sanitary protection zone of the oil refinery. It was found that all soil samples have a phytotoxic effect on pea seedlings. The introduction of SPS in amount of 1-3 g per kg of soil stimulates the development of the ground part and roots of oats and peas, and also increases the germination energy of oat and pea seeds in the initial soil samples by 2÷10 times. The introduction of SPS into the samples of the studied soils at a dose of 1-3 g/kg stimulates the development of colonies of Azotobacter bacteria and leads to an increase in the total number of soil microorganisms. The introduction of SPS in an amount of 3 g per kilo of soil leads to a slight increase in the environment reaction and an increase in the content of water-soluble salts in the soil up to 2 times. In view of this, it is necessary to control that the content of water-soluble salts does not exceed the established standards. Based on the results obtained, we consider it expedient to use soda production sludge as a lime soil conditioner and for the reclamation of industry-disturbed soils.
