Abstract

In the northeastern region of India, notably in the state of Manipur, where almost ninety percent of the soils are acidic, the soil conditions present a significant obstacle to agricultural productivity. The current study's title is ―Characterization of Acid Soils and its Lime Requirement in Imphal West District, Manipur was undertaken with the following objectives viz. 1. To describe the nature of acidity in Imphal West district soils. 2. To characterize the Physicochemical properties of soil. 3. To determine the lime requirement of these acid soils. Depth wise 0-15 cm, 15- 30 cm, and 30-45cm (surface and sub-surface) soil samples were collected from Imphal West district i.e. 1. Wangoi 2. Yumnam huidrom 3. Mayang Imphal 4. Samurou and 5. Mutum phibou from each block of three samples are collected with the help of stratified random sampling (proportional allocation).
