Estimation of chemical properties of soil of Sri Ganganagar district of Rajasthan, India

Abstract

An estimation of chemical properties of soil of block Raisinghnagar and sri Vijaynagar of Sri Ganganagar district was carried out in 2016-17. The experiment was conducted in three stages soil survey and mapping, collection of samples and their analysis for chemical properties of soil for the analysis for 8 sampling point of 2 block of 1 district were selected. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 0-15cm, 15-30cm and 30-45cm and the study revealed that soil pH ranges from 7.26-7.50, soil EC ranges from. 37-0.57 (dSm-1), organic carbon 0.24-0.38 (%), available nitrogen 180.35-275.63 (Kg ha-1), available phosphorus 9.10-16.13 (Kg ha-1) and available potassium 270.39-340.40 (Kg ha-1). It clearly indicate that soil has good chemical properties and sufficient nutrients are available for crops. The soil is suitable for almost all tropical and sub-tropical crops and oil seeds.
