Study And Analysis Of Agar Added Gravelly Soil

Abstract

The chemical properties of Gravelly soil such as CEC, pH, EC and soil Basic Exchangeable Cations (BEC) such as Ca, Mg, Na, K and physico chemical properties such as Soil Organic Matter (SOM), Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and physical properties of a Gravelly Soil with and without addition of Agar are estimated. Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) of Agar Powder added Gravelly soil changes with physical and chemical and physico-chemical properties of soil and measuring the CEC values. The physical and chemical and physic-chemical properties of Gravelly soil sample are correlated using statistical analysis Pearson Correlation. The study was carried out on Thiruvannamalai District, Tamil Nadu, India.
