Abstract

An evaluation of the physical-chemical characteristics of soil was conducted in 2023–24 in several blocks within the Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh. This study's main goals were to assess the physico-chemical characteristics of soil in several blocks in Uttar Pradesh's Mirzapur District in ord`er to ascertain the soil's macronutrient availability. Samples of soil were taken at three different depths: 0–15 cm, 15–30 cm, and 30-45 cm. Sandy loam was the textural class of soil. 1.17 mg m-3 to 1.44 mg m-3 is the bulk density. Density of Particles (2.22 - 2.48 mg m-3). Pore Space Percentage (42.78% to 48.00%). It was evident that the soil had good physical conditions, an alkaline pH range of 7.43 to 8.15, a good water holding capacity (39.92 to 45.76%), and and all crops could benefit from the electrical conductivity (0.21 to 0.34 dSm-1). Organic carbon content in these soils is modest (0.27 to 0.38%). All villages have a medium nitrogen range (250 kg ha-1 to 380 kg ha-1). All villages have a medium phosphorus level (22.53 kg ha-1 to 37.49 kg ha1). (148.43 kg ha-1 to 282.4 kg ha-1) of potassium. is high in one place and medium in eight others.
