Abstract :

For the present study, sampling had been carried out for two years i.e. from march 2006- 2008.Twenty-eight different locations were selected for the study. After the harvest of crop soil samples were collected as the dry soil as that time. Soil auger was used for sampling. The number of samples was collected according to the size of field. The salt content present in the given soil sample can be estimated by electrical conductance measurement. Organic carbon shows random trend, no exact trend was found. In study area the available nitrogen found in the ranges between 211 to 590 kg ha-1 .The studies revels that the degree of acidity or alkalinity of soil finds mildly, moderately alkaline i.e. optimum range. EC increases as percent of calcium carbonate increase. High amount of available nitrogen found indicates the over use of nitrogenous fertilizers. Maximum numbers of farmers were used advance technology for farming.
