Description :
In the present investigation physico-chemical status of paddy field soil samples from Warora Tahsil, District Chandrapur, Maharashtra, India has been studied for the period of 2 years from February 2020 to February 2022. Warora Tahsil has an area of 1028.93 km2, the area under cultivation is around 54602 hectors. Warora Tahsil has rice cultivation area of 2884 hectors. Soil samples were collected from Temurda, Khairgaon, Shegaon BK, Chargaon BK, Arjuni, and Dadapur to study the physico-chemical status like colour, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from paddy soil of Warora Tahsil. This study finding of soil analysis revealed that colour of soil ranges from blackish brown to red, pH (7.4 to 7.77), electrical conductivity (0.2 to 0.5 mS/cm), Nitrogen (112-118 kg per hectare), Phosphorus (10.4 to 11.7 Kg per hectare) and Potassium (240 to 290 kg per hector). Result of this investigation will help farmers to solve the problems related to the soil nutrients and better management of fertilizers in paddy fields.
