Abstract

The present investigation “characterization of soils of irrigated fields of bilara tehsil of jodhpur district” was undertaken to assess and impact on physical, and chemical properties of soils as well as cationic composition of plant leaves. Forty soil sample from respective irrigated fields were collected. Soils of Bilara tehsil were found sandy to loamy sand in texture. In general, soils of the study area were mostly loamy sand in nature. Soil moisture retention of Bilara tehsil varied from 9.48 to 15.96, 7.90 to 13.30 and 1.90 to 2.84 per cent at 0.1, 0.30 and 15 bar, respectively. Available water ranged between 5.74 to 10.49 per cent. The hydraulic conductivity (H. C.) of soils of Bilara tehsil was varied from 10.81 to 14.73 cm h-1 with a mean value of 12.60 cm h-1. In the study area OC (%), available N, P2O5 and K2O (Kg/ha) ranged from 0.05 to 0.49, 41.38 to 211.25, 21.32 to 61.19 and 94.37 to 324.82 with mean values of 0.24, 114.85, 38.89 and 89.71,respectively. The fertility status of study area low organic carbon, low nitrogen and medium to high phosphorus and potash was found.
