Assessment of Physical Properties of Soils from Different Blocks of Palakkad District of Kerala, India

An Assessment of Physical properties soils Palakkad District Kerala was carried out during 2022. The objective the study to analyse soil, their variation with soil depth in villages Nemmara, Kollengode and Kuzhalmannam blocks. For assessment 9 sampling locations were selected. A total 27 Soil samples collected at 0 -15 cm, 15-30 cm 30-45 respectively. Study found that these blocks Sandy Clay Loam texture. Bulk Density increased increasing depth. In most villages, particle density showed slight changes only. analysis be Pore space higher than Water retaining capacity. These have good Retaining Capacity physical condition. are a key factor determining soil’s suitability for agricultural, environmental engineering uses. greatly influence its use behavior towards plant growth. Plant support, root penetration, drainage, aeration, moisture retention, nutrients all related condition soil.
