Abstract:
The objective of this research was to study the soil fertility of Meerut district and guide the farmers about the problems related and provide Soil. In the present study Physico-chemical analysis of soil in Meerut district was analysed by selecting nine different villages. Accordingly, it is found that the pH of the soil samples was found to be neutral to slightly alkaline in nature with a mean value 7.89. The electrical conductivity of soils was recorded with mean value 0.27 dS m-1. 74.07% of the soil samples showed low-medium Organic Carbon content this is due to low and high temperature and less decomposition of organic matter in the soil. The soil nutrient index Nitrogen (1.25), Phosphorus (1.48), Potassium (1.48), Sulphur (1.25), Zinc (1.08) and Iron (1.41) has showed low range of nutrient index whereas Organic carbon (1.74), and Manganese (1.70) are showed medium range. The results strongly recommend that still improving cropping pattern, decomposition of organic waste, mulching and tillage practices.
