Abstract
Soil characterization of four vegetable crop fields viz. Bhagpur, Gobindapur, Irangmara and Barjalenga of Cachar district, Assam were carried using standard procedures. Physico-chemical parameters of the soil of different sites studied were in the range of 0.65% to 1.48%, 17.08% to 23.88%, 10.9 to 14.78 (g/cm3), 0.22 to 0.37%, 0.02 to 0.08% and 0.47 to 0.72% for OC, MC, BD, TN, TP, and TK, respectively. The pH was found to be mildly acidic in nature. The value of conductivity revealed that all the sites are non-saline. The soil of Bhagpur, Gobindapur, Irangmara and Barjalenga comprised of different textural groups viz., silty clay, silty clay loam and clay loam, respectively. Correlation analysis was done to study the relationship between various physico-chemical parameters in soil.
