Abstract
One of the important ecological resources that has important role on the life on Earth is soil. In this paper an attempt has been made to estimate the physico-chemical parameters of soil and to generate the Soil Quality Index (SQI) for Digha Coast, Digha, Purba Medinipur, West Bengal. Soil Quality Index (SQI) is calculated using five soil parameters such as Organic Matter (OM), Acidity (pH), Phosphorus (P), Potassium(K), and Electrical Conductivity(EC). Physico-Chemical properties of soil are estimated by conducting different experiments. The physico- chemical analysis and properties, and Soil Quality Index are helpful in concluding the quality of soil like as good, excellent, poor and very poor or unfit for ecological point of view.
