Analysis of Soil Samples for its Physical and Chemical Parameters from Ahilyanagar District

AbstractThe earths topmost crust layer which is mixed with dead, decay matter of plants and animals is known as the Soil. The properties of soil are an important role in influence pest development, affects agricultural production. The soils sample analysis is crucial for considerate soil health and fertility and valuable for sustainable land management. A complete examination was performed on soil sample from Ahilyanagar District to estimate their physical and chemical properties crucial for information about land use planning and agricultural applies. This study explores the chemical and physical characteristics of soil such as texture, pH, organic matter, Electrical Conductivity and Nitrogen percentage of soil sample collected from Imampur, Vambori, Newasa, Shrirampur, Rahata, Kopargaon, areas from district Ahilyanagar. In an observation most of soil from collected samples were little alkaline with pH ranged from 8.45-8.80 and Electrical Conductivity was observed in between 0.11-0.20 mmhos/cm which indicates normal landscape of soil. Also, the soils were augmented with Organic Carbon and water holding capacity which is in between 0.24%-0.63% and 4.50 to 19.00ml/g respectively. The results offer understandings into soil health, give knowledge of appropriate soil management and adjustment strategies to enhance productivity and sustainability, which depends on value of six representative soil samples were obtained and analyzed for its PH, Electrical conductivity, Temperature, water holding capacity, phosphates, chloride, alkalinity, carbonate, bicarbonate and organic content available in soil.
