Analysis of Physicochemical Properties of Soil Samples from Basmati and Non-basmati Rice Growing Areas in the Jammu Region, Jammu and Kashmir, India | Chapter 3 | Emerging Issues in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 4

 The main objective of the study search out assess the condition of soil in context to allure physicochemical characteristics like, available Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P), Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg), Organic Carbon (OC), pH, Salinity, Electrical Conductivity (EC) and to determine the concentration of micronutrients and burdensome metals in the rhizosphere of the soil samples collected from the fields of basmati and non-perennial aquatic grass types of RS Pura, Samba and Kathua regions of Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The rhizosphere soil samples were calm from the fields of two rice differences such as Basmati 370 (basmati type) and SJR-5 (non-perennial aquatic grass variety) at blooming stage of the crop. The soil samples were processed and evaluated based on their physicochemical characteristics. The adulthood of rice fields in the Jammu domain had average overall results for soil pH level, OC, N, P, and K composition that were favourable for swamp rice help; nevertheless, the ideal pH and NPK levels should be inspected on a regular base in accordance with the likely approvals to ensure best choice rice harvests.
