Assessment of Macronutrients and Physicochemical Parameters of Agricultural Soils in Nawanshahr-Hoshiarpur Districts of Punjab

Both improving agricultural soil productivity and maintaining its quality are now the focal points of ongoing research in agriculture. The purpose this is to examine soil's health, order do so, a survey was carried out which physicochemical parameters macronutrients soils from two districts state Punjab (Hoshiarpur Nawanshahr) were analyzed. Around 40 composite samples taken 0 15 cm depth critically assessed. This study analyzed colour, texture, pH, electrical conductivity organic carbon parameters. sample’s colour varied light yellow dark solid brown, texture observed be sandy loam, through sedimentation process feel method. sample's pH slightly alkaline, showed expected results. Organic found medium surplus ranges studied fields. According results macro-element analysis, lacked Potassium concentration while having excessive levels Nitrogen Phosphorous. These compared normal range values for healthy soil, discrepancy statistically significant. that phosphorus nitrogen-based fertilizer, likely urea other synthetic fertilizers containing phosphorus, had been overused without considering health.
