Abstract: Soil is the most diverse, nutrient-rich loose surface material that covers most of our land. Soil contains both organic and inorganic matter. The presence of soil is necessary to prevent direct leaching of the inorganic pollutants in the groundwater. Color, texture, structure, porosity, density, consistency, temperature, and air are the physical properties of soil. Suitability of soil for agriculture is determined by the physical properties. There are different properties for different soils. Soil is the source of the water and provide mechanical stability to the plants. There are various types of soil in the environment for example – loamy soil, sandy soil, chalk, peat, silt, and clay soil. Soil analysis refers to a set of various chemical processes which help us determine the available plant nutrients which are either in micronutrient or macronutrient form. In this study, various physiochemical parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus) were analyzed. physio-chemical Parameters of soil are conducted in the study area based on various parameters are as pH, (6.91 - 8.56) electrical conductivity, (0.085 - 0.432) nitrogen, (100 - 200) potassium, (114 - 408) and phosphorus, (14 - 24) soil organic matter (0.72 - 0.98) contents in the study area. A soil analysis is used to determine the level of nutrients found in soil. As such, it can only be as accurate as the sample taken in a particular field. The results of a soil analysis provide the agricultural producer with an estimate of the number of fertilizer nutrients needed to supplement those in the soil. In modern agriculture, excess use of chemical fertilizers affects the pH, EC, Organic carbon, N, P, and K, which are within the permissible limit. and Electrical conductivity which is harmful to germination. Due to overdose of chemical fertilizers its affects soil fertility resulting to decreases crop yield production.
