Depth Wise Studies of Physico-Chemical Properties of Soil under Different Land Use System at Eastern U.P, India

The Present Study was undertaken to assess Depth Wise Studies of Physico-Chemical Properties of Soil under Different Land Use System of main campus of university at Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during 2018-2019.

Soil samples were collected under RWCS (Rice-Wheat cropping system), LBCS (Legume based cropping system), and VBCS (Vegetable based cropping System).The land use systems selected for study were Crop land RWCS (Rice-Wheat cropping system), LBCS (Legume based cropping system), and VBCS (Vegetable based cropping System), Plantation land (Mango, Aonla and Bael orchard), Forest land (Shisham, Teak and Eucalyptus) and barren land (NSP-6 farm). Soil samples were taken with GPS system from four depth viz. 0-15cm, 15-30cm, 30-45cm and 45-60cm and analyzed for their physico-chemical properties (soil pH, EC, OC, BD, Available N, P&K). Results revealed that different soil properties varied significantly under different land use system at various soil depths.
