Abstract:
An experiment was accomplished to study chemical properties of soil collected from Paschim Medinipur district of West Bengal. Result of chemical properties like pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulphur, zinc, iron and copper were preferred to complete the paper. After analysis of the said properties, it was reported that the result of pH, EC, OC, N, P and K are determined from 5.32 to 6.91, 0.20 to 0.47 and 0.33 to 0.57%, 245.93 to 378.58 kg ha^-1, 17.44 to 22.81 kg ha^-1 and 98.34 to 115.87 kg ha^-1 respectively. The analysis concluded that the nature of soil is moderately acidic to slightly acidic, EC is moderately saline and organic carbon varies from low to medium range. The characteristics of N, P, K in soil are shown from low to medium range. Determination of Ca, Mg, S, Zn. Fe and Cu are varied from 1.11 to 1.45 cmol (p⁺) kg^-1, 1.39 to 1.63 ppm, 12.53 to 14.75 ppm, 0.77 to 0.99 ppm, 4.81 to 7.80 ppm and 0.26 to 0.38 ppm respectively. Ca, Mg and S denote the value of low, high and marginal in soil respectively. Zn, Fe and Cu are marginally sufficient in soil.
