Abstract

An eco-friendly method is used in this study to analyze the Phosphorous, Potassium, and Alkalinity levels in various soil samples from the Thiruvarur district. Ten distinct locations provide soil sample collection. Alkalinities (Carbonates, Bicarbonates) are evaluated by acidimetric titration, while the amounts of Phosphorous and Potassium are assessed by simple titration (EDTA method). This study intends to evaluate the Phosphorous, Potassium, and soil alkalinities of the samples gathered in and around the Thiruvarur district. In order to avoid issues with soil alkalinity, reclamation, and preventive actions are recommended. Appropriate fertilization activity ensures a balanced nutrition in the soils under consideration.
