Abstract

The yield of the crop is dependent of the type of the soil and proper cultivation. Hence it is necessary to study some parameters of the soil. So in the present study is undertaken to determine the physico-chemical characteristics of some samples of soil from some farms of nearby villages of Digras region, Dist. Yavatmal.The soil characterization was carried out with respect to particle size distribution, bulk density,maximum water holding capacity, available water capacity, hydraulic conductivity, soil pH, electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, free calcium carbonate and organic carbon. The important observation during the study is that the parameters were fluctuating for farm to farm of nearby villages.

Keywords
