Physicochemical Status of Fertile Soil around Arjunnagar, District Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India

Abstract

The present paper deals with some parameters of soil samples, a systematic study has been carried out to explore the quality of soil, hence the objective of present paper is to estimate the relationship of eight soil samples. Soil chemistry is affected by mineral composition, organic matter and environmental factors. The soil samples have been collected in September 2014 from eight differents sites around arjunnagar (i.e. Benadi, Kognoli, Soundalga, Belewadi, Jatrat, Akkol, Sidanal, and Lakhnapur). During this study it has been found that there are marked variations in physical and chemical parameters. These parameters such as pH, dissolved oxyge, Nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulphur, chlorine, (There were significant variations were found from site to site. All the values within the permissible limits, the physicochemical analysis of soil samples of different villages around arjunnagar were collected and analyses for different parameters and nutrients. In case of above soil samples it was found that there was a marked variation in nutrients and parameters of various sample around arjunnagar.
