Assessment of Physical Properties of Soil from Different Villages of Devikulam Block of Idukki District of Kerala, India

Assessment of Physical properties soil from Different villages in the Devikulam block idukki district Kerala was carried out 2022-23. The study conducted with objective evaluating physical characteristics soil, over various depths block. Nine sampling locations were selected for study. A total 27 samples taken at 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm and 30-45 respectively. result indicated that Marayoor, Kanthaloor Keezhanthoor sandy clay loam texture. bulk density particle did not vary much increasing depth. remained constant because amount or chemical composition mineral particles remains unaltered. Water Retaining Capacity these found to be good. pore space higher than water retaining capacity all villages. For sustainable use agricultural Production, are crucial. movement air water/dissolved chemicals through as well conditions affecting germination, root growth, erosion processes.
