Analysis of Soil Quality Using Physico-Chemical Parameters with Special Emphasis on Fluoride from Selected Sites of Sawai Madhopur Tehsil, Rajasthan - Juniper Publishers
Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Analysis of Soil Quality Using Physico-Chemical Parameters with Special Emphasis on Fluoride from Selected Sites of Sawai Madhopur Tehsil, Rajasthan Authored by Arshi Iram Abstract Soil samples from were collected for analysis from the agricultural fields of Sawai Madhopur tehsil. Inhabitants, cattle and some crop species which are sensitive to fluoride toxicity of this tehsil suffer from fluorosis. Soil samples were collected from 35 villages of Sawai Madhopur Tehsil. Total 175 samples (5 samples from each village) were analyzed. Selected ion meter was used for estimation of fluoride. Fluoride ion concentration in soil samples varied from 1.0ppm to 8.23ppm. Out of 35villages 1village is in 0-1ppm, 7 villages is in 1-1.5ppm, 7 villages is in 1.5-2.5ppm ,16 villages is in 2.5- 5.0ppm and 4 villages is in 5.0-10.0ppm range .
