The Department of Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj-211 007 (U.P.) is the laboratory where the physical and chemical properties of soil were analysed. After examining the soil's physical characteristics, the texture of the soil was discovered. Clay loam and soil colour vary from light brown to brown when dry and from brown to dark brown when wet. The soils' particle densities ranged from 2.20 to 2.56 mg m^-3, while their bulk densities varied from 1.00 to 1.42 mg m^-3. Soils varied in their percentage of pore space (42.89% to 49.26%) and water-holding capacity (38.6 to 44.26%). With a soil EC of less than 0.47 dSm^-1, the pH of the soil ranges from 7.04 to 7.70, which is neutral to slightly saline. In the case of the organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus content of research area was found low to medium while the range of Potassium was sufficient ranges from 77.82 to 183.27 kg ha^-1. Exchangeable Calcium and magnesium were also present there.
