- <p>This study investigates the physico-chemical properties of soil from the Chhindiya (Bandhpara) and Baikunthpur areas<br>of Korea District, Chhattisgarh, with the aim of assessing soil health and its suitability for agricultural practices. Soil<br>samples were collected from various locations within these regions and analyzed for a range of physico-chemical<br>parameters, including soil texture (sand, silt, clay percentages), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon content,<br>nutrient levels (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and bulk<br>density. The results revealed that the soils in Chhindiya (Bandhpara) and Baikunthpur exhibit varying physical<br>properties, with differences in texture and structure that influence water retention and drainage capabilities. The pH<br>levels in the soils ranged from slightly acidic to neutral, indicating suitable conditions for most crops, while electrical<br>conductivity values suggested the presence of moderate salinity in certain areas. Organic carbon content was found to be<br>sufficient, contributing to soil fertility, although some nutrient deficiencies were noted, particularly in nitrogen and<br>phosphorus levels. The study highlights the importance of soil amendments and management practices to optimize soil<br>fertility and improve agricultural productivity in these areas. The findings of this research will aid local farmers and land<br>managers in making informed decisions regarding crop selection, fertilization, and soil conservation strategies, ensuring<br>sustainable agricultural practices and improved soil health in the long term. </p>
