Physico Chemical Analysis of Soil Organic Carbon of Some Villages of Chuda Tehsil District: Surendranagar (Gujarat) India

Mahesh R. Solanki

Abstract: In present scenario world population is growing rapidly. It is projected that food requirement will be doubled in next twenty years, Therefore agriculture farmland is under tremendous pressure to fulfill this huge production barrier. To accelerate food production, soil fertility is important parameter in agriculture business. . Soil fertility is determined by various parameters like electrical conductivity, alkalinity, acidity, nitrogen, phosphorous, organic carbon and available potassium, This soil analysis paper revealed proportion of organic carbon in soil Chuda taluka, Dist. Surendranagar. It shows villages of this taluka possess low, medium, high, proportion of organic carbon. This soil analysis results are useful to farmer to rectify the problem arised due to out range of organic carbon and helpful to decide how much quantity of compost fertilizer blend with soil for increasement of crop production. Soil organic carbon and productivity is depends on various parameter like morphology, physico- chemical parameters and biological constitute. . determination from Chuda taluka Sample were analysed for Soil organic carbon Dist. Surendranagar. The result revealed that available organic carbon ranged between 0.31 to 1.22 percentage. Main objective of this soil analysis is to estimate SOC as per Government of Gujarat Agriculture department lab manual under soil health card project.
