Abstract :

In the present studies on electrical conductivity of soils and their relationship with their physical properties like texture, bulk density and porosity were analyzed. We have taken 72 soil samples from different villages of chuda taluka in Surendranagar district of Gujarat. Soil samples were studied for electrical conductivity may find importance in better understanding of soil physics and also for agricultural applications. Electrical conductivity of the soil profile can be used as an indirect indicator of a number of soils. Electrical conductivity of soil is recorded is 0.28 to 5.02 dS/m with the mean value of 0.95 dS/m. Most samples have found in good range and some of have found in high salinity conditions.
