Abstract

This study focuses on the physico-chemical characterization of soil samples collected from Shardapur Village in Balrampur-Ramanujganj District, Chhattisgarh. The objective is to evaluate soil quality and its suitability for agricultural and environmental applications. Key parameters analyzed include pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon, and essential micronutrients such as zinc, iron, manganese, copper, boron, and sulphur. The results indicate that the soil is moderately acidic to neutral in nature, with low to moderate salinity levels. Organic carbon content suggests moderate fertility status, while micronutrient analysis reveals varying concentrations, with some elements falling below optimal levels required for crop growth. The findings highlight the need for balanced nutrient management and appropriate soil amendments to improve soil productivity. This study provides valuable baseline data for sustainable soil management practices and supports informed decision-making for enhancing agricultural productivity in the region.
