Abstract
Soil is an important component of the human environment and is a significant component of terrestrial ecosystems. Over utilization and consuming all its minerals and nutrients by repetitive agricultural tasks along with the higher doses of agro chemicals affect the health of the soil and hamper the growth of the plants. Its health status needs to be regularly evaluated for understanding the magnitude of the available nutrients to plants in soil. To understand this important health status of soil, a study was conducted in Ludhiana District in Punjab for testing the soil samples for all its important parameters in rice growing fields. Four samples sites as Site 1- Dhande village, Machchhiwara Block,, Site 2-Ghuman village, Sudhar Block, Site 3- Nizampur village, Khanna Block and Site 4- Selioni village, Jagraon were taken for the study. There were fourteen parameters tested in soil samples comprising of primary macro-nutrients (Nitrogen-N, Phosphorus- P, and Potassium-K), secondary macro-nutrients (Sulfur-S, Magnesium - Mg, and Calcium - Ca), and micronutrients (Iron -Fe, Manganese - Mn, Zinc - Zn, Copper - Cu, Molybdenum - Mo, Boron - B, Chlorine - Cl and Cobalt - Co)along with soil pH, Electric Conductivity (EC) and Soil Moisture.
