Abstract:
Soil sample were collected from three blocks of the Sikar district from three depth viz. 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm and 30-45 cm for the “Assessment of Physical Properties of Soil from Different Blocks of Sikar District, Rajasthan” was carried out in 2019-21. Nine sampling points in different villages were selected for the analysis. The colour of soil changed between the three depths of 0-15 cm, 15-30 and 30-45cm at all the locations. There was also difference in colour of dry and wet soils was soil colour found in dry condition was, vary dark greyish brown and dark brown. The sand, silt and clay % varied from 75.15-79.40%, 12.20-13.60%, and 11.40-10.67% respectively. The texture classes identified were sandy clay loam and sandy clay. The bulk density ranges from 1.58-1.68 Mg m-3 the particle density ranges from 2.61-2.69 Mg m-3. The pore space (%) ranges from 43.02-42.16%.
