Soil Fertility Assessment of Sugarcane Growing Villages in Samastipur District of Bihar

Résumé

An assessment of soil status of Hasanpur and Rosera blocks of Samastipur district of Bihar was carried out to determine the basic physico-chemical properties of the soil, based on which site-specific nutrient recommendations can be made so that problems of nitrate contamination in water of that area may be minimized. The study was carried out in four selected villages from each of the block. Results revealed that soils mostly belong to the textural class of sandy clay loam and sandy loam. Soils are alkaline in reaction, safe concerning electrical conductivity. Soil organic carbon contents varied from 0.26% to 0.61%. Available nitrogen, phosphorus (P 2 O 5 ) and potassium (K 2 O) contents of soils varied from 142.65 to 275.97, 19.76 to 34.61 and 136.60 to 237.58 kg ha - 1 , respectively. Low organic carbon, low availability of available nitrogen and available phosphorus were identified to be the major soil-related crop production constraints of the study area.
