Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Understanding Of Soil Morphological, Physical And Chemical Properties Is Necessary For Appropriate Utilization Of Soil Resources And Hastening Technology Transfer. A Study Was Conducted On Soils Of Experimental Farm Of School Of Agriculture In Lovely Professional University Phagwara, Punjab To Know The Type And Extent Of Soils Prevailing In This Area And To Map The Soils. Five Profiles Were Collected. These Soils Were Examined In Field For Morphological, Physical And Chemical Characteristics In Laboratory And Classified Up To Family Level As Well As Soil Mapping. The Farm Is Situated At Longitude 31014.796ʹ N And Latitude 750 41.725ʹE. Distribution Of Clay Across The Soils Ranged From 5.3 To 33.6 %. The Percentage Of Silt Ranged From 12.5 To 35.0 %. The Sand Values Of These Soils Ranged From 42.90 To 80.20 %. Content Calcium Carbonate Ranged From Nil To 3.07 %. The Soil Ph Ranged From 7.5 To 9.1. The EC Values Of These Soils Were Below 1ds M-1 , The OC Content Of These Soils Was Recorded Low Except The Surface Layer Of Pedon Two Where It Is Medium (0.420 %). The Available Nitrogen Ranged From 30.80 To 457.856 Kg/Ha, Phosphorus Low To Very High, Potassium Was High In All Pedons. The Availability Of Zinc Ranged From 0.08 To 2.98 Mg/Kg Of Soil, Iron, Manganese And Copper Ranged From 0.76 To 13.06 Mg/Kg, 0.70 To 5.96 Mg/Kg, And 0.18 To 1.80 Mg/ Kg Of Soil Respectively.These Soils Were Classified As Pedon 1, 2 And 3 As Family Of Typicustorthents While Pedon 4 And 5 As Family Of Typichaplustepts.
