“…The rate of soil deterioration is influenced by land use patterns, soil types, terrain and climate variables. Inappropriate land use is one of these variables that accelerates the deterioration of soil physicochemical and biological quality [1].…”

One of the most popular phrases in agriculture is the term “Soil Health and Soil Quality.” Agricultural sustainability is being dependent on soil health. Soil quality assessment is of paramount importance to know the appropriate management practices to be adopted for sustainable crop production. Soil samples were collected from Sunder Nagar block of Mandi district on Oct. 2022 in three depths viz. 0-15,15-30 and 30-45 cm and analysed for their Physico-chemical parameters by using standard laboratory techniques. Soil health parameters were analyzed and the founding state that, texture of soil is sandy loam. Soil reaction was neutral to slightly alkaline with soil EC mostly below <1.0 dS m-1 significantly affect for better crop production. In the case of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus content of research area was found to be slightly low to medium while the range of potassium range was medium to high. The concentration levels of certain micronutrients were analyzed and the results indicate that zinc levels were low to slightly medium, copper levels were low to medium, iron levels were medium to high and manganese levels were medium to slightly high. For promoting the soil health and soil quality use of organic manure is recommended for fertilizer management.

“…The ability of the soil to supply all of the necessary plant nutrients in readily available forms and in an appropriate balance is referred to as soil fertility, whereas soil productivity is the outcome of a number of factors. The nutrients and physical characteristics can have a direct impact on yields in cultivated fields Bindu et al [1].…”

An experiment was conducted to investigate the Response of different combination level of NPK and FYM on physicochemical properties of Inceptisol soil at Prayagraj district, Uttar Pradesh, India under cultivation of carrot (Daucus carota). during the Rabi season of 2022-2023 at the Research Farm of the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, NAI, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The experimental having two factors with three levels of NPK at 0%, 50% and 100% ha-1, and three levels of FYM at 0%, 50% and 100% ha-1 which was layout in randomized block design (RBD). The results showed that the physicochemical properties of soil were significantly affected with the application of FYM in conjunction with NPK fertilizers. This was evident through a significant increase in organic carbon percentage, per cent pore space, and higher levels of available nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil. Additionally, the combination of NPK and FYM led to a decrease in bulk density, particle density, and pH of soil. In conclusion, the experiment demonstrated that the combination of NPK and FYM positively influenced the soil health under carrot cultivation.

“…"The texture of the soil of West Godavari district varied from Sandy clay loam to clay. The colour (Dry method) of soil samples is shown Brown, red, Dark brown, Black and in (Wet method) colour of soil samples are shown Dark brown, Dark yellowish brown, Red, very dark greyish brown" [13]. The sand, silt and clay percentage varied from 15.34 to 71.32% sand, 5.62 to 24.83% silt and 18.16 to 69.44% clay in Sandy Loam.…”

The study of nutrient status in West Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh was carried out in 2022-2023. Representative soil samples were collected covering three mandalas of West Godavari division before sowing of crop. The soil samples were analysed for their Physico-chemical Properties. The samples were taken from different blocks and depths like 0-15cm,15-30cm and 30-45cm. There are many reasons leading to soil quality deterioration, including changes in land use types from forest to arable land and the consequences from intensive land use. The colour of soil changes between the three depths at all the locations. There was also a difference in colour of dry and wet soils was dark brown to dark yellowish brown. Results show that soil Bulk Density varied from 1.31 to 1.48 % Mg m-3, soil Particle Density varied from 2.44 to 2.57 % Mg m-3, Percent of Pore Space from 43.09 to 48.21 %, Water Holding Capacity from 35.73 to 44.24 % respectively. Soil pH varied from 77.25 to 8.92 % and EC is 0.18 to 0.37 % respectively while soil Organic Carbon varied from 0.28to 0.55 % and Available Nitrogen varied from low to medium i.e., 216 to 323 % kg ha-1 Available Phosphorous varied from medium to high range i.e., 14.05 to 25.71 % kg ha-1. and Available Potassium was found to be medium range i.e.,137.00 to 236.00 % kg ha⁻1, Exchangeable Calcium and Magnesium low from 3.34 to 5.66 % (meq 100g-1) and 1.36 to 2.74 % (meq 100g-1) respectively. Results show that the soil samples of the areas of Eluru division were found to be mildly alkaline and non-saline.
