SOIL RECTIFICATION PARAMETERS

Parameter Sample Level Interpretation Desrirable Level
Texture Silty Clay Loam Determines WHC% and leaching of nutrients from the soil.
Use of a soil conditioner can help reduce the
pH 5.90 Acidic
problem of excess Aluminium.
EC-ds/m 0.08 Too Low 0.5-2 ds/m is optimal for most crops.
Al can be toxic to plants. Degree of toxicity will depend on pH &
Aluminium-ppm 134.00
Ca levels.
Porosity-% 29.20 Soil Porosity (pores filled with water + air, should be around 45-50%.

Calcium-ppm 672.00 Low 1000-3000

Potassium-ppm 50.00 Low 150-400
Magnesium-ppm 149.00 Low 400-800
Sodium-ppm 4.00 Ideal <100
Cation exchange capacity (CEC) is a measure of a soil’s ability to hold
CEC-meq/100gm 8.3 exchangeable cations. It provides an indication of a soil’s fertility. Soils
with a higher clay and organic matter content tend to have a higher CEC.

Correlative Properties of Soil

dry matter production. Al3+ toxicity is linked
40.0 with pH and Calcium levels in the soil. pH < 6
30.0 and low calcium may tend to aggravate

soils is the best line of action in such cases.
