Evaluation of Soil texture Quality through Physicochemical Parameters in the Industrial Belt of Raipur, Chhattisgarh (India)
Keywords:
Soilquality, Physicochemicalparameters, Texture, Industrial belt
Abstract
This study investigates the physicochemical propertiesand texture of soils from 15 industrial regions of Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. Soil samples were collected for comprehensive texture analysis for physicochemical parameters such assoil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon, total nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, Ex. calcium, and Ex. magnesium contents etc. by using standard methods. Results revealed that soil pH ranged from acidic to slightly alkaline, with EC levels generally indicating low to moderate salinity. Organic carbon varied widely across sites, influencing nutrient availability. Notably, sites like Sejbahar, Siltara, and Mandhar showed higher nutrient content, whereas Urla exhibited poor soil quality.Soil texture analysis revealed a predominance of loamy soils, which are conducive to agriculture purposes. The findings highlight significant spatial variability in soil quality, underlining the need for continuous monitoring and sustainable management practices to mitigate environmental risks in industrial regions.
