Abstract :Chemical, physical, biological properties and water temperature plays big role on water quality. Water temperature depends mainly upon the amount of solar radiation in water. Technical research on using efficient, optimal water is crucial for sustainable agricultural development and vegetative and generative yield. This paper highlights the impact of solar radiations on changes in saline water quality parameters and turnip growth in comparison with fresh water application during pot study in the laboratory. A Plexiglas tank/chamber was used for the application of sunrays on the water and sunrays treated water was analyzed for quality parameters and turnip growth. Results of the present study revealed that no significant changes in physiochemical parameters of water were observed both in low saline and fresh water. Turnip yield is significantly better with the application of fresh water and water productivity was found to be in higher than the low saline water treated with solar radiation. Further studies are suggested to evaluate in depth the impact of solar radiation in irrigated agriculture for making concrete recommendations.Keywords : Water, saline water, solar radiation, turnip, productivity.
