Physical and Chemical Analysis of Soil Collected from Jaisamand

Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 5

Abstract

The study was conducted on the physicochemical analysis of soil of Jaisamand lake area. The physical and chemical parameters like pH, EC, moisture content, organic matter, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous were studied, tabulated and briefly discussed. The soil of Jaisamand is of black cotton type with reddish brown colour. The moisture content of Jaisamand soil is high i.e. 72.41% as compared to normal agricultural field (32.27%). The colour, alkalinity, insufficient amount of phosphorous and organic carbon indicate the starting of soil contamination from agricultural and domestic sewages. The data obtained clearly indicated that the lake is oligotrophic in nature and that the area is good for agriculture of wheat, gram, mustard, zea maize, cotton etc.
