DEPTH WISE SULPHUR STATUS OF REPRESENTATIVE BENCH MARK SOIL SERIES OF WESTERN MAHARASHTRA REGION
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 52
Abstract
The present soil survey was made on “Depth wise sulphur status of representative bench mark soil series of western Maharashtra region†was conducted during the year 2011-2012. For the present investigation total 9 representative soil series like, Thejoda, Kolyachiwadi, Masala, Sonawadi, Ranjani, Jaipur, Valwa, Manjra and Bodla were selected for depth-wise soil sample collection in 9 district of Western Maharashtra region like, Nashik, Ahmednagar, Solapur, Satara, Pune, Jalgaon, Sangli, Kolhapur and Dhule district, respectively, were studied at the original sites where the soil series were first studied as per technical bulletin of soil series of Maharashtra published by National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning. All depth-wise collected soil from nine soil profiles samples were analyzed for physical properties viz., bulk density, hydraulic conductivity soil texture and chemical properties viz., pH, EC, organic carbon, calcium carbonate. These soil samples were also analyzed for available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and different forms of sulphur viz., total sulphur, organic sulphur, water soluble (1% NaCl extractable) sulphur, sulphate sulphur (0.15% CaCl2 extractable) and non-sulphate sulphur by using standard method. All physical and chemical parameters of soil profiles are decreased with the depth in all the soil profiles under study except bulk density, clay, pH, EC, calcium carbonate and water-soluble sulphur.
