CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF DIFFERENT SALINE AND NON SALINE SOILS OF BANGLADESH (Pages : 1 - 5)

Soil samples were collected from saline locations of Bangladesh namely Sunderban- forest, Nohati, Doratanaghat, Alipur, Budhhata, Rahimpur, Kula, Dumki, Amati, Rajbari and non-saline BAU Farm, Mymensingh to study some chemical properties. The organic carbon content varied from 0.42 to 1.24 per cent and the CEC from 13.18-to 30.92 me/100g soil. Both CEC and organic carbon contents decreased with increasing soil depths. The studied soils were nearly neutral or slightly alkaline in reaction. The cations such as Na+ , K+ , Ca2+ and Mg2+ decreased with increasing soil depths. The SAR, ESP and ESR values were recorded higher at the surface layer. The available sulphur values varied from 9.11 to 40.01 ppm, and values decreased with increasing soil depths. EC values varied from 0.387 to 9.357 dSm-1 . Download
