Regional variations in the soil characteristics of the Ghiror block in Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri District
Soil serves as the basis for plant growth and is essential for agricultural output. Soil testing is decisive in modern agriculture for assessing fertility, nutrient status, and crop suitability. In the current study an attempt has been made to ascertain currents spatial variability of soils from seven different villages of Ghiror Block three different soil samples of each village were gathered from 0-15 cm depth section, and it was examined using the help of standard laboratory techniques. Therefore, the effectiveness of the material showed that the pH values were found in the-neutral to alkaline (Mean=7.98), electrical conductivity of the soils was salinity-free (Mean=0.44 dS m-1) and aadditionally, the soils' carbon content quality was low (mean = 0.27 per cent). having a mean score of 299.45 kg per ha, the amount of available potassium was noted to be relatively more, followed by available phosphorus with a mean score of 36.09 kg per ha, and usable nitrogen with a mean of 132.10 kg per ha. Similarly, the nutrient index values of the Ghiror block were high for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and low for sulphur. These outcomes indicate that maintaining a balanced fertilization program that accounts for crop demand, soil availability, efficiency of fertilizers, and the contribution of animal manure enhances yield and promotes soil health.
