TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL DYNAMICS OF SOIL DESURFACING DUE TO BRICK KILNS EFFECTING MICRONUTRIENT STATUS USING GIS AND SOIL ANALYSIS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 17
Abstract
The present research plan was executed to investigate the temporal and spatial dynamics of soil desurfacing due to brick kilns in some parts of National Capital Region (NCR) of Haryana province (India), using Cartosat-I and Worldview-II digitized data and ground truth verification was done. The soil desurfacing process immensely affected the micronutrient reserve of top soil of cultivable land in study area (Jhajjar district). Brick kiln activities leading to soil desurfacing in the region have been observed during 2007 and 2012 in a massive way, increasing 41 % over the preceding years during this duration of five years. The investigation also revealed that due to rampant soil desurfacing in study area, micronutrients have decreased drastically, especially in the parts like Jhajjar and Bahadurgarh zones, being in close proximity of National Capital, New Delhi. Zn, Fe, Cu, and Mn content in desurfaced soil decreased as compared to normal soil and decrease was of the order of 80.41, 60.02, 54.78, and 47.26 per cent, respectively.
