Abstract

Soil is an essential natural source. In the present study, an analysis of the Physico-chemical parameters of soil in ten different villages of pomegranate orchards from the Sangamner and Rahata taluka was done. The soil samples were collected and analyzed to measure various physical and chemical parameters like pH, temperature, E.C, N, P, K, Carbon, Boron, and Sulfur. This research provides information regarding the soil's nature and the nutrients found in the soil of pomegranate orchards from study area. Sangamner and Rahata are geographically different so the selection of sampling sites for the analysis of soil parameters is difficult to compare the results. To overcome this problem found out the sampling sites of soil based on colour and texture. All soil parameters, including pH, temperature, E.C, N, P, K, Carbon, Boron and Sulfur are within normal limits.

Conclusion

In this analysis, we examine the physicochemical properties of soil samples collected from pomegranate orchards in Sangamner and Rahata taluka. Sangamner and Rahata are geographically different but observed that both shown the similarity in soil colour and texture. All soil parameters, including pH, temperature, E.C, N, P, K, Carbon, and Sulfur are found within normal limits. This research provides information regarding the nature of soil and the nutrients that are found in soil of pomegranate orchads. According to the current study, the offered soil is more suited for the growth of pomegranate.
