Soil is one of the important components of the environment that affects the growth and development of plants. Soil testing is one of the chemical processes in which the suitability of essential nutrients is determined before sowing the crops so that the demand for remaining nutrients can be fulfilled artificially by applying fertilizer in the field. A physicochemical study of soil is based on various parameters like soil pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Aluminum (Al), Iron (Fe), Sodium (Na), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Manganese (Mn), Calcium (Ca), and Magnesium (Mg). Ten representative samples were obtained and analyzed for their alkalinity content, pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, sodium, and potassium. Ten soil samples were collected at a depth of 0-20 cm and analyzed for soil that was neutral to slightly alkaline. Soil pH ranges from 7.16 to 8.34, electrical conduc.. Read More»
