RESUMEN
This study aims to evaluate the agricultural productivity potential of soils in several villages in Marori block of Pilibhit district during 2022-23. 40 soil samples were collected using a random sampling technique, air-dried, and analyzed for physical and chemical properties. The results showed that the soil content varied significantly, with sand content ranging from 8.2-78.4% silt content from 9.2-67.3%, and clay content from 4.2-39.2%. Bulk density, particle density, porosity, pH levels, electrical conductivity, and organic carbon were also measured. The available nutrients varied, with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulphur ranging from 149.13-265.63 kg/ha, 13.59-49.72 kg/ha, 99.34-300.53 kg/ha, 3.3-6.9 cmol (P+)/kg, 1.53-4.20 and 11.29-19.23 kg/ha, respectively. The results showed that 99.5% of the soil samples had normal pH levels, and 0.5% was acidic. The majority of the soil samples had low organic carbon, with 72.5% having the highest available P. The majority of the soil samples were adequate in terms of exchangeable Ca and Mg content, and 60% had the greatest available sulphur. In a nutshell, the study highlights the importance of soil fertility in sustainable agricultural production.
