Abstract

Objective: The objective of present investigation is to determine the physico-chemical parameters of soils at various stations such as Bolti, Charmar, Champa, Dadarkala, Dhitori, Gumiya, Jogipali, Kalgamar and Koi villages of Kartala block of Korba district. Method: The physico-chemical parameters were measured using a pH meter for (pH), conductivity meter for electrical conductivity(EC),Fourier-transform infrared and ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometer for organic carbon (OC). The Kjeldahl method was used to estimate nitrogen (N2), the flame photometer was used to estimate potassium (K), sodium (Na), and calcium (Ca), and the titrimetric method was used to estimate magnesium (Mg). Results: Among these, pH (5.40-6.40), EC (0.10-0.41 ds/m), OC (0.20% - 0.79%), N (101.31-335.50 Kg/Ha), P (11.33-73.32 Kg/Ha), K (156.21-571.10 Kg/Ha), S (17.90-44.33 ppm), Zn (0.21-0.78 ppm), B (0.04-0.44 ppm), Fe (21.24-29.70 ppm), Mn (19.38-40.35 ppm) and Cu (0.82-3.89 ppm) ranges were recorded at all the stations. Conclusion: This study is an initial effort to investigate the characteristics of the soils in various agricultural areas within the Kartala block of the Korba district in Chhattisgarh, India. This could aid in determining the district's nutrient profile and in recommending the crop's nutrient levels for optimal growth.
