Physico-Chemical Analysis of Soil Samples of Shivamogga District of Karnataka State

Soil is a natural body of minerals and organic material differentiated into horizons, which differ among themselves as well as from underlying materials in their morphology, physical make-up, chemical composition and biological characteristics. In the present study, soil samples collected randomly from all the taluks of shivamogga district and from each taluk five representative locations is selected for analysis. Physical parameters like pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Color and chemical parameters like Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium (N+P+K), Sulphur, Boron, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Zinc and Organic Carbon were analyzed.
