Abstract
The current study has been conducted in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh to evaluate soil physico-chemical parameters and soil health. The soil samples have been collected from farmer's field of five villages of Solan district. From each village 10 farmers were randomly selected and making the sample size 50. The findings showed thatSoil pH ranged from 6.23 to 7.34 and electrical conductivity (EC) of the entire study area remained below 0.29 dSm-1. It was discovered that there was a marked variation in chemical parameters of various samples viz. Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), available nutrients (NPK) and available micro nutrients. SOC ranged between 0.53 to 2.03 per cent, available nitrogen content varied from medium to high, phosphorus content remained at high range, but varied from 54.78 to 65.71 kg ha-1 and available potassium content varied from medium to high range. The findings also demonstrated a strong and positive relationship between organic carbon and available nitrogen. Farmers were given soil health cards after testing soil samples from various areas.
