AN ANALYTICAL ASSESSMENT OF MACRO AND MICRO NUTRIENT OF SOIL OF INDUSTRIAL REGION OF BILHA, BILASPUR DISTRICT (C.G.) INDIA Authors: Kaushik J , JAISWAL P, DUBEY A AND SHARMA K
ABSTRACT
The aims of this paper are analytical assessment of macro and micro analysis of soil sample. The
two methods can be used qualitative and quantitative analysis for soil quality assessment. The
macro elements were analyzed in laboratory are pH, N, P, S and K by physio-chemical
parameters. And the micro elements such as Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn concentrations in (ppm) were
estimated by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. After analyzing the mean values were found to
be 7.7 for pH showing acidic nature of the soil. The AAS results are elevated levels of Iron (Fe)
while others such as Cu, Mn, Zn were within the permissible standards of WHO. The levels of
heavy metals were found to decrease in the order of: Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu in soil sample
collected from Bilha region of Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh.
