Abstract

To know the fertility status of soil, its Physico-chemical parameters was investigated through chemical analysis. Soil samples from two locations Terogvunyu village and Henbenji villages of Tseminyu district of Nagaland, India were collected to determine various parameters. Results obtained by analysis shows that pH of soil samples were less than 7 which indicates that the soil samples are in the range of slightly acidic to moderately acidic. Nitrogen and Potassium were in the low to medium range where as Phosphorus was in the range of low to high content. Organic matter content was in the high range where as electrical conductivity and Sulphur content in the soil samples were in the low range. Micronutrients Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper and Boron were in sufficient amount where as Chloride content was in the range of high to very high. Water holding capacity and % of moisture were also determined. Study recommends the use of selected and limited amount of fertilizers to improve the fertility status of the selected locations to get high yield and better quality of products.
