Analysis of Nutrients in Agriculture Soil Sample of Mysuru Region

DOI: 10.22161/ijeab/3.6.42

Abstract:
Soil is a complex, living, changing and dynamic component of the age old ecosystem. It is subjected to alteration and can be either be degraded or wisely managed. Soil is found to be one of the key elements which sustain life on earth. Physicochemical analysis of soil has been carried out to know the quality of the soil of Mysuru region (C-208). Electrical conductivity of the soil at temperature [250 C] exhibited 490 µs /cm. The pH of the given soil sample exhibited 7.96. The pH ranging between 6.8-8.0 has been recommended optimum for plant growth. The organic carbon present in the soil C-208 is exhibiting 0.65% and organic matter is 0.999%. The total nitrogen determined by alkali permanganate method was found to 519.715 Kg/ha. The concentration of phosphorus in Kg/ha is 240.7. The concentration of potassium determined by flame photometry in the soil sample revealed that 71.136 Kg/ha. The exchangeable calcium and magnesium present in the soil sample determined by complexometric tiration was found to be 195.106 ppm and 100.63 ppm. Above physicochemical study gives the information about nature of soil present and also nutrients present in the soil. So that farmers will arrange the fertilizers and nutrients needed to the soil to increase the yield of crops.
