Physico Chemical Analysis of Soils of Forest of Shahapur Taluk, Yadgir District, Karnataka - India
2021
Abstract
Studies on the nature and properties of soil of forest ecosystems are important for proper management of the environment and utilization of resources. The present study objectively conducted to analyse the physio-chemical properties of soils of forest Shahpur taluka of Karnataka. The study of soil is based on various parameters like texture, temperature, moisture content, water holding capacity, pH, Soil organic carbon, potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen and micro nutrients such as Zinc (Zn), Cobalt (Co), Manganese (Mn) and Iron (Fe).
The soil of Shahapur forest was less acidic. Nearly alkaline. The average Soil Organic Carbon in was 1.03%, Nitrogen 381.93, phosphorus 38.9, exchangeable potassium was 108.64 kg ha-1.Zn 0.75, Co 0.41, Mn 11.04 & Fe 32.04 ppm.
Soil nutrient status may help for the Environmentalist and agencies involved in the processes of reafforestation.
