Abstract

Agriculture has major contribution in growth of economy of India. India is the biggest country for crop production and provide food for millions of people and animals. This research was conducted during the year 2024-2025 in different villages of Kanpur Dehat, U.P. India. We collected soil sample from different depth like 0-10 cm, 10-25 cm and 25-40 cm. Total 16 samples were collected from different location. This research help in evaluation of physico- chemical status and fertility of agricultural soil of various villages. After analysis of the soil texture  and soil color in physical status, while chemical status are pH, EC, OC, N, P, K, Zn, Fe and S. The result of soil showed black colour, loamy and sandy soil which are suitable for Maize, Wheat, Rice,   Potato, Garlic and Onion. Chemical properties that pH range 7.1 to 8.9, Electrical conductivity (EC) ranged from 0.72 to 1.59(ds/m). The Soil organic carbon ranged from 0.36 to 0.90 (%). Available nitrogen ranged from 103.5 to 204.15 (kg/ha), available phosphorous ranged from 14 to 29 (kg/ha), available potassium ranged from 96 to328 (kg/ha), available iron  ranged from 8.32 to 32.8 (kg/ha) and available sulphur ranged from 1.82 to 9.63 (ppm). All of these result shows decrease value with increase the depth and these values varied with depth and site. This study showes that soil of Kanpur dehat is good for various crops production.
