Abstract
Analysis of soils based on different parameters like soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC), bulk density (BD), clay amount, water holding capacity (WHC), organic carbon (OC), available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), Sulphur (S), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) was conducted at village Phansidewa of Darjeeling District of West Bengal to determine the physico-chemical parameters by standard methods. The samples were collected from three different sampling stations at three different seasons; pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon to be acquainted with seasonal distribution of the soil parameters. All the soil samples were collected at a depth of 0ââ¬â30 cm and analyzed for the physico-chemical investigation. The values of soil parameters were seeming to be different in the three seasons and also different for three different places. The summary of descriptive statistics and Pearsonââ¬â¢s correlation coefficient matrix for the studied soil parameters were also analyzed. The information gathered from the analysis would be helpful to the local agrarians to know about the amount of fertilizers to be added in the soil to make it more productive season wise.
