Abstract

Rice is the major food grain in most of the countries of the world. The demand of rice is in increasing trend due to consumption of various food items prepared from rice starting from baby food to fast food with increasing population. But due to natural and anthropogenic reasons, the farmers are not getting the calculated production. Now to meet the increasing demand of the rice, it is essential to balance the theoretical and observed rice production by finding out the factors responsible for not getting the desired production. Hence an attempt is made to assess the soil quality of agricultural field by considering few selected cations.
