Abstract

Abstract: The current study, conducted in 2022, examined the physico-chemical characteristics of soil at Sangam University (SU) in Bhilwara, Rajasthan. Soil sample was collected 15 cm depth from Sangam crop cafeteria and Sangam farm and them analyzed for assessing the soil physical properties and availability of macro-nutrient present in soil of selected locations. Soil textural classes were clay loam and sandy loam. Bulk density 1.06gcm-3 (SU farm) and 1.11 gcm-3 (SU Campus) in both field water holding capacity 59% and 54% was good. Electrical conductivity 0.25- 0.66 dSm-1 (SU farm) & 0.26- 0.80dSm -1 (SU Campus) are safe range and organic carbon 0.43% & 0.42% is in sufficient amount of both area. Soil pH 7.5 & 8.0 is neutral to slightly alkaline. The available Phosphorus 54 kg ha-1 and 42 kg ha-1 , Potassium 140 kg ha-1 and 130 kg ha-1 in Sangam farm and campus. Hence, it is suggested to add required amount of gypsum, FYM and compost in the soil.
