Harvesting Nature’s Treasure: ExaminingSoil Properties and Nutrient Bountyin the Crop Fields of Hafizabad, Punjab,Pakistan using Geostatistical Kriging
Nutrient distribution and quantification are critical to both agricultural output and agricultural protection.However, it can be difficult to properly measure these soil factors in places where transitions alter over short distances, which makes land-use management complicated.In the agricultural district of Hafizabad in Punjab, Pakistan, this research paper aimed to quantify and analyze the spatial distribution of macronutrients (potassium and phosphorus), micronutrients (zinc, copper, iron, manganese, and boron), and soil characteristics (pH, organic matter, and electrical conductivity).
