‘Investigation on Soil Fertility of Chalisgaon, Bhadgaon and Parola Tehasils of Jalgaon District, Maharashtra’
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Jalgaon district is located in the north of Maharashtra. About 75% to 85% of the population of the district is dependent on agriculture and agro-based industries. In addition to traditional farming, chemical farming is also practiced mainly in the district, but in the last few years, it has been noticed that soil texture is deteriorating due to overuse of chemical fertilizers. There is a huge difference in the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash in the soil in most of the areas. Soil testing is often neglected by farmers, and overuse of chemical fertilizers has led to a decrease in the number of bacteria in the soil, leading to the disappearance of naturally occurring fertilizers from the soil. As a result, the soil texture has deteriorated drastically and if it is not repaired in time, the possibility of major damage in the future cannot be ruled out. This research has been constructed to solve this problem.
