Sudan is a large country with a great diversity of climatic and agro-ecological zones.The horticultural acreage in the Sudan is estimated at 273,000 hectares, representing about 3% of the total crop area. The area under horticultural crops is on the increasing for it is fetching good money for the farmers. Horticultural crops comprise the groups of vegetables,fresh legumes, fruit trees, ornamental plants, plantation crops, medicinal and aromatic plants and spices. The present study was conducted in Alhegaina area, North Kordofan-Sudan,with an aim of assessing the quality of water used for irrigation and soil properties for the production of horticultural crops mainly onions and tomatoes. The data of the study were obtained from two sources, from soil and water samples analysis, and from a questionnaire which was prepared to assess the farmers’ perception on the factors affecting horticultural crops production in Alhegaina. Soil samples were taken from depths 0-15, 15-30 and 30-40 cm and were collected from 10 small scale farms, in which 5 farms used surface water while the other 5 farms used ground water for irrigation. Six water samples were collected during dry and wet seasons, three from surface sources (dams) and the other three from sub-surface normal wells. The sampled soil and water were analyzed for various parameters in the laboratory. Using the questionnaire, fifty six small garden holders (10%)were interviewed randomly.
