Assessment of Soil Fertility Status in Rice Growing Area of Banda District of Bundelkhand Region, India

Résumé

An experiment was conducted in Rice growing area of Badokhar Khurd block of Banda district in Bundelkhand region to evaluate the soil fertility index. A total of 300 georeferenced soil samples of 0-15 cm depth were collected, processed and the soil properties viz. pH, EC, OC, available N, P & K were analysed using standard protocols. The maximum rice growing area soil belonged to slightly alkaline (56.3%) followed by neutral (40%) and minute area was found to be slightly acidic (3.7%) in reaction. Almost all the rice-growing area of Badokhar Khurd block exhibited non-saline conditions, whereas the maximum area exhibited low level of soil organic carbon (SOC) and available nitrogen (N), medium level of available phosphorus (P) and high level of exchangeable potassium (K). Calculation of Nutrient Index Value (NIV) categorised fertility status as low for organic carbon (1.14) & available nitrogen (1.16), medium for available phosphorus (2.08) and high for available potassium (2.44). Approaches viz. INM, Agro Forestry, SSNM etc. aiming to increase soil organic carbon and finally the soil fertility are of main concern in delineated rice growing area for elevating the low (OC, N) and medium fertility(P) status of the area.
