Different results were reported. The colour of soil samples changed with the depth. The pH of soils ranged between (pH 7.40 - 7.58). The electrical conductivity of the soil of the entire studied area was less than 1 dSm-1. The soil organic carbon status was low to medium, ranging from 0.10 to 0.25 % and organic matter ranged from 0.17 – 0.43%. The available nitrogen content of the entire studied area was low (166.37 to 192.75 kg ha-1). The available phosphorus and potassium content varied between 13.24 to 37.77 kg ha-1 and 146.88 to 232.32 kg ha-1. The available zinc, iron, copper and manganese of the soil ranged between 0.56 to 0.32 mg kg-1, 2.23 to 2.97 mg kg-1, 0.40 to 0.67 m...

Total 54 soil samples were taken from the site from different depths i.e., 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm. Among nine treatments, during field experimentation, the conjunctive use of NPK and different organic manures [FYM, vermicompost, rice residues and jeevamrutha] levels, together come with best results significantly. The excavated soil sample from experimental site before conducting research operation, mentioned that, the land topography range was nearly levelled with 1-3% slope. Soil is of sandy loam texture.

Results revealed that soil is moderately alkaline and slightly saline electrical conductivity. Low to medium organic carbon content and macronutrients viz. nitrogen and phosphorus are low to medium and medium to high potassium. Secondary nutrients i.e., calcium and magnesium are quite adequate. Micronutrients such as zinc, copper and Iron are found in permissible amount.

The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design having three levels of Phosphorus @ 0%, 50 %, 100% and three levels of Sulphur @ 0%, 50% and 100% respectively. The treatment combinations were replicated three times and allocated at random in each replication. The result shows that the application of different levels combination of Phosphorus and Sulphur increased growth and yield of green gram and improved soil chemical properties. However, some parameters of soil physical properties decreased. It was recorded from the application of Phosphorus and Sulphur treatment T9 has maximum Bulk density 1.285 Mg m-3 in 0-15 cm and 1.286 Mg m-3 in 15-30 cm, Particle density 2.551 Mg m-3 in 0-15 cm and 2.552 Mg m-3 in 15-30 cm, % pore space 50.372% in 0-15 cm and 50.391% in 15-30 cm, Water holding Capacity 45.89 % in 0-15 cm and 45.78 % in 15-30 cm, pH...

Deficiencies of micronutrients viz., Zn and B are a common problem in cowpea. Foliar Application is very effective to correct the micronutrient deficiencies in pulses, but it is too laborious. The Present Research was held at Research Farm, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, SHUATS, Prayagraj a field experiment was undertaken in the Zaid season 2021, With 9 treatments and 3 replications, the experiment was set up in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) results includes, the physico-chemical properties ranged optimum range and the available Zinc was found 0.46 to 0.38 in 0-15 mg kg-1 cm depth and 0.33 to 0.23 mg kg-1 in 15-30 cm depth. Available Boron was found 0.62 to 0.53 mg kg-1 in 0-15 cm soil depth and 0.36 to 0.29 mg kg-1 in 15-30 cm depth. Post-harvest available Zn and B content registered lower. This might be due to the antagonistic effect of Zn on B. And may be attributed to the ...

The inorganic forms of phosphorous, namely aluminium bound phosphorous (Al-P), represented 2.15 percent of total-P, resulting in a relatively low proportion, while calcium bound phosphorous (Ca-P), comprised 31.57 percent of total-P. The correlation coefficient (r) between Olsen P and forms of phosphorous saloid P (S-P) was extremely high among all (r = 0.979*) and occluded bound-P (Occl-P) was significantly associated among the inorganic forms (r = 0.767*). This suggests that Occl-P has a significant contribution to the available phosphorous, it is said to be that from the forms of phosphorous Saloid P and Organic P values should be raised and it is recommended that soils with low content of phosphorous are advised to apply organic manures and supplemented by applying of phosphorous fertilizers in the specified crop to increase the levels of ...

Surface soils (0-5 cm) collected from three different land-use regions (industrial, flood-plain and a reference site) in Delhi, India over a period of 1 year were characterized with respect to 16 US Environmental Protection Agency priority PAHs and five trace metals (Zn, Fe, Ni, Cr and Cd). Mean annual ∑16PAH concentrations at the industrial and flood-plain sites (10,893.2 ± 2826.4 and 3075.4 ± 948.7 μg/kg, respectively) were ~15 and ~4 times, respectively, higher than reference levels. Significant spatial and seasonal variations were observed for PAHs. Toxicity potentials of industrial and flood-plain soils were ~88 and ~8 times higher than reference levels. Trace metal concentrations in soils also showed marked dependencies on nearness to sources and seasonal effects. Correlation analysis, PAH diagnostic ratios and principal component analysis (PCA) led to the identification of sources such as coal and wood combustion, vehicular and industrial emissions, and atmospheric transport. Metal enrichment in soil and the degree of soil contamination were investigated using enrichment factors and index of geoaccumulation, respectively. Health risk assessment (incremental lifetime cancer risk and hazard index) showed that floodplain soils have potential high risk due to PAHs while industrial soils have potential risks due to both PAHs and Cr.
