Abstract
A study was conducted in 2023-2024 to assess the physical properties of soils in various blocks of Rohtak District, Haryana. The main objectives included surveying the area, gathering information on sampling sites, and analyzing the soilâs physico-chemical properties as well as its macro-micro nutrient status. Sixty sampling sites were chosen for this evaluation, with soil samples obtained from depths of 0-15 cm. The findings revealed that the soil in Lakhanmajra, Sampla, and Rohtak city blocks had a sandy loam texture with good water holding capacity, whereas the Kalanaur and Meham blocks exhibited a loamy sandy texture. The research focused on key parameters like pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorus, micronutrients (e.g., iron, copper), and water-holding capacity. The results indicated no significant variations in these parameters across the selected sampling sites within the Rohtak district. This research article sheds light on the physicochemical characteristics of the soil in this region.
