Study of Presence of Available Potassium and Fertility Index of Farmland Soil of Danta Taluka Territory District: Banaskantha (Gujarat)

Dr. Jitendra K. Parmar

Abstract: Quality of farmland soil is based on analytical results of various parameters like pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total organic carbon, available nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P2O5) and available potassium (K2O). This study was carried out during year 2014-15 under soil health card project of Gujarat government. This study leads us to the conclusion of the nutrients quantity of soil of Danta Taluka, District- Banaskantha, Gujarat (India). Almost medium and high potassium content found for all the 34 villages of Danta taluka covered under the study. The average fertility index for available potassium for this taluka is 2.14. This information will help farmers to decide the problems related to soil nutrients, thereby quality as well as quantity of fertilizers would be added to soil in order to achieve high agriculture yield with minimal use of fertilizers.
