Characterisation of Soil Properties of CRC-2 and CRC-3 at ITM University, under Gwalior Region, M.P, India

The present “Characterisation of soil properties of CRC-2 and CRC-3 at ITM University, under Gwalior region, M.P” was carried out during the year 2024 in the department of soil science and agricultural chemistry, school of agriculture, ITM University, Gwalior. I collect the soil by traversing representative areas of CRC-2 and CRC-3, the soil survey under the high intensity. For the CRC-2 the total soil is 36 and for the CRC-3 is 66 and the soil is collected surface (0-15cm) and sub-surface (15-30cm). The collected soil is preparing for the various analysed of soil physical parameters like bulk density, mechanical analysis, porosity, particle density, moisture content, osmotic pressure and total dissolved soil. The bulk density of surface for the CRC-2 is range from 1.32 to 1.38 mg m-3 and the sub-surface is 1.36 to 1.41 mg m-3 while for the CRC-3 surface value of bulk density is ranged from 1.32 to 1.39 mg m-3 and the sub-surface is ranged from 1.35 to 1.44 mg m-3. The mechanical analysis of surface for the CRC-2 is ranged from 59.7 to 61.0% and the sub-surface is ranged from 55.7 to 57.3%, for the CRC-3, it ranged from the 59.7 to 61.5% for surface and the sub-surface is ranged from 55.7 to 57.6%. The porosity of CRC-2, it ranged from 49.5 to 49.8% in surface and 50.0 to 50.7% in the sub-surface, where for the CRC-3 it ranged from 49.5 to 50.7% in the surface and 49.6 to 50.9% in the sub-surface. The silt% in the CRC2 is ranged from the 18.5 to 20.2% in surface and 16.7 to 18.5% in sub-surface while, CRC3 the silt% are ranged from18.53 to 20.30 % in surface and 16.6 to 19.4% in sub-surface The clay (%) of the CRC 2 are ranged from the 19.6 to 21.8% in surface and 21.4 to 23.4% in sub-surface while for the CRC 3 are ranged from the 19.6 to 21.8% in surface and sub-surface is 21.3 to 23.5%. Particle density for the CRC-2 ranged from 2.33 to 2.59 g cm-3 in the surface and 2.61 to 2.80 g cm-3 in sub-surface, for the CRC-3 it ranged from 2.30 to 2.58 g cm-3 in the surface and 2.59 to 2.90 g cm-3 in sub-surface. The moisture content of CRC-2 is ranged from 12.33 to 12.77% in the depth of 0-15cm and 12.85 to 13.23% in the depth 15-30cm. And the CRC-3 the value is ranged from 12.35 to 12.87% in the depth of 0-15cm and 12.86 to 13.35% in the depth of 15-30cm. The osmotic pressure for the CRC-2 is ranged from 0.175 to 0.183 N m-2 in the depth of 0-15cm and 0.182 to 0.187 N m-2 in the depth of 15-30cm where for the CRC-3 it ranged from 0.174 to 0.184 N m-2 in the depth of 0-15cm and 0.182 to 0.190 N m-2 in the depth of 15-30cm. Total dissolved soil for the CRC-2 ranged from 493.0 to 497.1% in the depth of 0-15cm and 497.7 to 503.9% in the depth of 15-30cm and for the CRC-3 it ranged from 494.1 to 498.8% in the depth of 0-15cm and 497.2 to 503.5% in the depth of 15-30cm.
