Abstract:To assess the viability of organic farming by analyzing various characteristics, 26 soil samples were gathered from five states in three Indo-Gangetic regions for the current study. With a median pH of 6.7 and electrical conductivity ranging from 85.27 µs/cm to 425.63 µs/cm, the sites from Upper Ganga Region (UGR) showed favorable soil conditions, leading to higher Soil Quality Index values (0.68 to 0.75; p < 0.05). On the other hand, the Lower Ganga Region (LGR) exhibited neutral to slightly alkaline pH of… Show more
