Abstract

The year 2021-2022, An analysis experiment was done for identification physical properties from the Rajasthan state at the Jaipur district area. For further study, twenty-seven soil samples were taken from farmer's fields in different three blocks of Jaipur district at depths 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm and 30-45 cm. The soil texture in the examined region was sandy loam. The difference of soil color also noticed in both the Air-dry condition and Moist condition and the color was light yellowish brown (10YR6/4) to brownish yellow (10YR5/8) and bulk density was from 1.24-1.34 Mg m-3, The range of particle density was from 2.27-2.34 Mg m-3 and the pore space 37.77 to 43.65 %. The water retaining capacity % (WRC %) of soil ranged between 43.56 to 57.28 %. The specific gravity of soil ranged between 2.33 to 2.46. The manure and organic fertilizers are suitable for good soil health and maximum crop production at the farmer’s field.
