| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment entitled “Evaluation of Organic Carbon Status in the soils of Saurashtra Region” was carried out during summer season of 2021. Samples were collected from each taluka of different districts of Saurashtra region and analyzed at Department of Soil science and agricultural chemistry, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. On the basis of analyzed data of soil samples, collected from different district of Saurashtra region of Gujarat, it can be concluded that soil of Saurashtra region was medium in Organic Carbon status with mean value of 0.57 per cent, whereas Porbandar district found highest organic Carbon percentage with 0.82 per cent value and Surendranagar district found lowest organic carbon percentage with 0.44 per cent. The soils of Saurashtra region were calcareous in nature and alkaline in reaction. The pH2.5 mean value of Saurashtra region was 8.0, whereas Rajkot, Porbandar and Junagadh district show the lowest pH2.5 value and Amreli district show the highest pH2.5 value from soil of Saurashtra region. The EC2.5 of soil samples of Saurashtra region was found with men value of 0.53 dS/m, whereas the lowest EC2.5 was found in Morbi District and the highest EC2.5 was found in Porbandar district. According to Nutrient index value, Porbandar, Gir-Somnath and Devbhoomi Dwarka district covered very high area of having Organic carbon per cent. Bhavnagar, Amreli, Rajkot and Surendranagar found very low organic carbon per cent area. ABSTRACT Junagadh and Jamnagar covered medium area of having Organic carbon per cent. Morbi district covered high area of having Organic carbon per cent. The overall highly significant correlation of SOC with EC2.5 (r = -0.290**) and SOC with pH2.5 (r = 0.268**) were observed in Rajkot District. In Junagadh and Morbi district, there was significant correlation found between SOC and EC2.5 (r=-0.208) and (r = 0.335). Overall organic matter and Soil Nitrogen range were 0.19-2.69 per cent and 0.018-0.414 in soil of Saurashtra region. Maximum mean value of organic matter and soil nitrogen were found in Porbandar district (1.41%, 0.071%) and minimum mean value of organic matter and nitrogen were found in Surendranagar district (0.76%, 0.038%) | |
