Assessment of Soil Physical Properties from Different Blocks of Jaipur District, Rajasthan, India

Abstract

The year 2021-2022, An analysis experiment was done for identification physical properties from the Rajasthan state at the Jaipur district area. For further study, twenty-seven soil samples were taken from farmer's fields in different three blocks of Jaipur district at depths 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm and 30-45 cm. The soil texture in the examined region was sandy loam. The difference of soil color also noticed in both the Air-dry condition and Moist condition and the color was light yellowish brown (10YR6/4) to brownish yellow (10YR5/8) and bulk density was from 1.24-1.34 Mg m-3, The range of particle density was from 2.27-2.34 Mg m-3 and the pore space 37.77 to 43.65 %. The water retaining capacity % (WRC %) of soil ranged between 43.56 to 57.28 %. The specific gravity of soil ranged between 2.33 to 2.46. The manure and organic fertilizers are suitable for good soil health and maximum crop production at the farmer’s field.

Evaluation of Soil Fertility and Physico-chemical Properties of the Semi-arid Region of Eastern Jaipur Rajasthan, India

“…The increase in pH with depths of soil is possibly due to the leaching down of salts from upper soil depths to lower soil depths, which is the accumulation of salts in lower depths of soil and an increase in soil pH. Similar results were reported by Mehta et al [9], Gill et al [10] and Maheshwari and Sharma, [11]. ): The Table 2 and Fig.…”

“…The organic carbon content decreased with depths and this is due to the addition of plant residues in surface horizons than in the lower horizons. Similar results were reported by Mehta et al [9], Gill et al [10], Maheshwari and Sharma [11].…”

Integrated Nutrient Management: A Pathway to Enhanced Growth and Yield in Amaranthus tricolor L.

“…It might be due to the positive response of the crop toward the nutrition available from different sources like fertilizer, vermicompost, and biofertilizers. The availability of effective microorganisms through biofertilizers along with nutrients supplied by vermicompost and chemical fertilizers which change the soil plant ecosystem in terms of soil health and growth and development of the plant consequently increased the yield and its attributing traits of Amaranthus [15,16]. Biofertilizers stimulate plant growth by providing necessary nutrients as a result of their colonization at their rhizosphere (Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Pseudomonas, Phosphate solubilizing bacteria, and Cyanobacteria) or by symbiotic association (Rhizobium, Mycorrhizae or Frankia) [17].…”

Soil Quality Assessment of Different Villages of Malpura Block in Tonk District of Rajasthan, India

“…Whereas the pH of the groundwater samples in different village of Malpura block viz Lawa (V1), Borkhandi (V2), Kadila (V3), Jankipura (V4), Diggi (V5), and Nukkad (V6), respectively was in the range of 7.2 to 8.5 with an average of 7.85, 6.9 to 7.8 with an average of 7.35, 7.5 to 8.3 with an average of 7.9, 6.9 to 8.8 with an average of 7.85, 6.8 to 8.1 with an average of 7.45, 7.7 to 8.2 with an average of 7.9 respectively. It indicates that most of the sample comes under slightly saline to alkaline in nature [14]. EC is a measurement of the total dissolved solids and ionised species in water that provides insight into the level of inorganic contamination.…”
