Depth wise (“0 to 15” and “15 to 30” cm) Distribution of Soil Physical Properties of Dausa Tehsil of Dausa District of Rajasthan, India

An investigation on Depth wise (“0 to15” and “15 to 30” cm) distribution of Soil physical properties of Dausa tehsil of Dausa district of Rajasthan was undertaking in the year 2021. 242 soil samples were collected at two depth (“0 to 15” and “15 to 30” cm) and analysed. Different results were recorded. The sand content varies from 73.00 to 82.80 and 71.30 to 81.30 per cent, silt content varies from 9.10 to 14.20 and 9.50 to 15.60 and clay content ranged from 7.90 to 12.80 and 8.60 to 13.30 per cent. The bulk density was ranged from 1.45 to 1.54 and 1.46 to 1.55 Mg m-3, while, particle density was ranged from 2.49 to 2.67 and 2.51 to 2.68 Mg m-3. The percent porosity was varying from 38.40 to 45.69 and 38.34 to 44.78%. under surface (“0 to 15” cm) and sub-surface (“15 to 30” cm) layers respectively. Based on sand, silt and clay contents, these soils classified into sandy loam and loamy sand textural classes. Out of 121 sub-surface soil samples 13 (10.74%) fell in loamy sand and 108 (89.26%) samples fell in sandy loam texture class. Therefore, the majority of soils were belonged to sandy loam category.
