A survey and mapping for soil parameters/properties was conducted of different departments of Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, (U.P.), India was carried in 2018-19. The main objectives were to collect information of soil type and various parameters like pH, conductivity, bulk density, water retaining capacity, moisture content, available nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium respectively. For this study 5 sampling points were selected from different departments. By analyzing the taken soil sample, soil was found to be light yellowish brown to pale olive in colour. The soil was found to be slightly acidic. The nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium values are found to be low in all departments of Naini Agriculture Institute.
