“…The highest SOM was in the surface layer at the Himalayan piedmont, where rainfall and vegetative cover are normally higher than in the other areas. Fateh et al (2006) found SOM ranges of 0.172–0.932% in the region, and Qureshi et al (2000) reported SOM ranges of 0.25–0.8% in the tehsil (administrative district) of Gujar Khan. Figure 7 reflects a decreasing trend of organic matter towards the tehsil .…”

Soil physico‐chemical properties are important for best management practices. We measured infiltration, bulk density, texture, water retention and chemical profiles from the surface to 1.0 m and lithology to 50 m depths at 30 sites. The infiltration data were fitted to the cumulative and infiltration rate models of Philip and Horton. The same sites were used for water retention, physico‐chemical properties and lithological assessment. The cumulative models fit persistently better than their infiltration rate forms. The Horton cumulative model fitted statistically better than the corresponding Philip model. The dominant steady‐state infiltration rates were 15–30 and 30–45 mm h−1 over the entire profile. Sandy loam, loam and silt loam were the dominant soils. The percentages of sandy loam decreased, whereas silt loam increased, with depth. Water retention parameters and lithological strata were diverse and in harmony with physiography. Soil organic matter varied up to 2.5%. No sodicity or salinity was detected except in sparse saline seeps. The central tendency and extrema of the measured parameters were compatible with the literature, and the CVs of the soil hydraulic parameters were greater than those of the physical parameters. Comprehensive data are presented, which will serve as an important reference for regional and global repositories.

Abstract:A study was conducted to investigate the soil fertility status of Quaid -I-Azam University Campus Islamabad for the provision of guidelines to researchers and farmers for better crop production. A total of thirty composite soil samples were collected, analyzed and classified for texture, soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic matter, available phosphorus and potassium. Texture of the soil varied, sandy loam (10%), loam (47%), and clay loam (43%).The pH values ranged between 6.9-8.5.Out of total all soil samples were normal with no hazard of salinity. Organic matter was deficient or poor in 93% samples and satisfactory in 7% samples. Available phosphorus was poor in 77% samples, satisfactory in 3% samples and adequate in 20% samples. In available potassium 60% soils in Quaid-I-Azam University have satisfactory level anci 40% samples fall in adequate level. Fertilizer recommendations were advised according to soil condition and fertility status of the soil.

The study was conducted to evaluate the organic matter status of soil in the Kahuta tehsil from District Rawalpindi. Nintey composite soil samples were analysed for organic matter contents. Soil texture varied from sandy loam (Light) 20%, loam (Medium) 78% and Clay loam (Heavy) 2%. Organic matter was deficient in 100% soil samples.The maximum organic matter of 0.85% were recorded at Loona Kahuta site and minimum organic matter of 0.20% were observed at Kahuta and Dodheli site. The average maximum organic matter of 0.70% were observed at Loona Kahuta site. Fertilizer recommendations were given to farmers according to soil condition and organic matter status.
