Effect on Physico-chemical Properties of Soil under Various Land Use Planning of Kanpur Nagar, U.P., India

Abstract

A research work conducted during 2020-21 at various land use planning of Kanpur Nagar (U.P.) to evaluate the fertility status of various land use planning on soil physico-chemical characteristics. The 504 representative soil samples with 3 depths viz. 0-15, 15-30 and 30-60 cm soil samples were taken with manually driven post hole auger and processed for soil analysis from different land use planning of Kanpur Nagar. Results revealed that physico-chemical properties viz. Bulk density, pH, Electrical Conductivity (E.C.), organic carbon (O.C.) varied vertically and horizontally in cultivated and fallow lands. The frequency distribution of soil bulk density of entire lands ranged 1.14 – 1.43 Mgm-3 and soil chemical properties, like, pH ranged from 7.1-8.9, the E.C. is found in ranged from 0.33 – 0.97 dS m-1. While organic carbon was ranged from 0.21- 0.68%.

Assessment of different level of macro-micro nutrients and rhizobium on soil health parameters and yield of blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) var. Shekhar-2

“…It was also observed the pH of soil was gradually increased with an increase in dose of different levels of NPK and Zn. Similar result has been recorded by Chandrakar, [18] : Jha et al, [19] .…”

Impact of Various Levels of Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorus and Biochar on Soil Physico-chemical Properties and Yield of Black gram (Vigna mungo L.) Var: Shekhar-2

“…Additionally, it was noted that when the dosage of various NPK and biochar levels grew, the BD of the soil steadily increased as well. Kumar et al [6], Reddy et al, [7] and Bhattacharya et al [8] have all reported similar results.…”
