Determination of Physical Characteristics of Soil in Palvan of Chiplun Tehsil
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Soil is a natural substance that provides useful support for plant growth and agricultural production. The synthesized profile of the soil substance makes some variable improvement for agricultural production over any geographical area. This paper presents the methodology adopted and the results obtained for determining the various physical characteristics of the soil like soil textural class, infiltration rate, hydraulic conductivity, bulk density, porosity, field capacity and permanent wilting point of the soil. It was found that the soil of experimental plot was sandy loam having basic infiltration rate 6.27 cm/hr and hydraulic conductivity 4.91 cm/hr. The bulk density of soil was observed as 1.40 g/cm3 with the porosity of 47.04 per cent. Also, the field capacity of the soil was 26.81 per cent and permanent wilting point was 11.6 per cent.
