Abstract :

 This paper presents a study of soil test to short out the nutrient deficient areas from Non–deficient one and is well recognized as a scientific means for quick characterization of the fertility status of soils and predicting the nutrient requirement of crops. The properties of PH, EC, NPK of the soil samples are measured by using the laboratory methods. The structure and texture of the soil samples determined by scanning electronic microscopy. It was shown that soil particles have porous structure and dimensions in the range from several millimeters to several hundreds of Nano meters.
