Evaluation of Physicochemical Characteristics of Dabus Kebele Farmland Soil, Bambasi District, Benshangul Gumuz Regional State, Western Ethiopia | Chapter 03 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 2

 It was determined to identify soil features at a specific location in order to analyse the nutritional content of the soil. The determination of physicochemical soil properties is critical for plant growth and soil management on farmland. The goal of this study was to determine the physicochemical characteristics of agricultural land in Dabus villages, such as pH, percent OC, percent TN, ppmP, exchangeable acidity, Cmol/100g soil of CEC, exchangeable acidity and potassium content, g/cm3 bulk density, percent sand, percent clay, percent silt, and textural class. The results of all of the soil samples gathered from the communities were insignificant. However, all samples had lower nutrient content than the standards, with the highest findings in most parameters coming from village nine (S9). Phosphorus, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic carbon, and carbon dioxide content (CEC) were all measured. The pH was found to be rather acidic. According to the findings, the study area lacked organic carbon and other essential ingredients for plant growth.
