A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SOIL QUALITY MAINLY N, P AND K TO THE SURROUNDINGS OF SUGAR MILL AREAS OF GONDA DISTRICT IN SESSION 2022-2023

Abstract

The present study was covered the soil quality specially Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potasium available in surrounding areas of Sugar mills in Gonda District UP at the industrial session November- 2022 to March- 2023. Here, a physicochemical study of soil is based on different parameters like soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), Total organic carbon (TOC), available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and some micronutrients like as Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn etc. Four representative samples were collected for analysis as A- East, B- West, C- North and D- South to the sorroundings of sugar mills. All soil samples were collected at a depth of 10–20 cm. The value of soil potassium vary 132 to 193 kg/ha. Among the nutrients, available Nitrogen was found to be 280.63 to 285.97 kg/ha, Phosphorous was ranging from 10.64 to 17.65 kg/ha. This information will help the farmers to understand quantity of fertilizers to be added in soil to make production better.
