Analysis of physico chemical parameter of soil samples and nematode diversity of seasonal crops from Sakur region, Tal. Sangamner (MS), India

Abstract

In the present study, an analysis of the physico-chemical parameters of soil samples from different localities of seasonal crops from Sakur region was conducted. The soil samples were collected and analyzed to measure various physical and chemical parameters by standard methods. The soil parameters like pH, temperature, EC, organic carbon, calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus were studied. From the analysis, the variation in physico-chemical parameters observed with respect to crop field pattern. In continuation to our research, study was carried out for nematode diversity of seasonal crops. Nematode diversity showed their interactions with plants and other organisms. The recorded nematode species are Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica, Rotylenchulus sp., Heterodera glycines and Paratrichodorus sp. From these, most dominant species are M. incognita, M. javanica which found in all seasonal crops.
