Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the physicochemical properties of soil in Butapani area located in the self-flowing water area of Lundra block of Surguja district, Chhattisgarh, India. Understanding soil properties in this specific geographic region is important for sustainable land management, agricultural productivity, and environmental protection. The physico-chemical properties of soil play an important role in determining its fertility, availability of nutrients, water-holding capacity and overall suitability for agriculture. By studying these properties, we can obtain information about soil structure, composition, and nutrient status, which are essential for making informed decisions about soil management practices and crop production strategies. The study will focus on analyzing various physico-chemical parameters of the soil, including soil pH, organic matter content, moisture retention capacity, cation exchange capacity, nutrient availability and particle size distribution. These parameters will provide valuable information about soil fertility, nutrients and its ability to retain water for plant growth. By conducting this study, we aim to contribute to the existing knowledge base on soil properties in the Butapani area, especially in the self-draining watershed of Lundra block, Surguja district, Chhattisgarh, India. The findings of this research will have practical implications for farmers, land planners and policy makers, as they can use the information to develop appropriate soil management strategies and increase agricultural productivity in the field. Overall, this study on physicochemical properties of soil in Butapani area will provide valuable insights into soil characteristics, which will contribute to sustainable land management practices and agricultural development in the self-flowing water area of Lundra Block, Surguja District, Chhattisgarh, India .
