QUANTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SOIL PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES INFLUENCE BY WHEAT..........

Farmers in communities employ crop residue burning as a method of disposal. This practise may be the result of a lack of understanding and awareness of the negative effects on soil quality. The impact of wheat residue burning on black soil quality was investigated. Soil samples were taken from Ashrawad khurd hamlet in Indore (MP) India before and after agricultural wastes were burned at a depth of 0-10 cm. For the studies, the physical and chemical properties of soil were taken into account. Soil texture, soil particle density, bulk density, pore space, specific gravity, moisture content, water holding capacity, and temperature are among the physical properties. Chloride, exchangeable calcium, exchangeable magnesium, pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, organic matter, available nitrogen, available sulphur, available phosphorus, available potassium, available zinc, available iron, available manganese, and available copper are all chemical parameters to consider.

Except for soil particle density, soil texture, available nitrogen, and available sulphur, practically all physical and chemical parameters changed. Changes in soil accessible potassium and soil temperature, on the other hand, were determined to be significant at the 5% and 10% levels of significance, respectively. Except for available iron, available zinc, available manganese, and available copper, other parameters such as chloride, exchangeable calcium, exchangeable magnesium, pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, organic carbon, available phosphorus, and available potassium decreased after burning wheat residues.
