Evaluation of Physicochemical Characteristics of Dabus Kebele Farmland Soil, Bambasi District, Benshangul Gumuz Regional State, Western Ethiopia

Abstract

To analyse the nutritional content of the soil, it was decided to identify soil attributes at a specific place. Physicochemical soil parameters analysis is important to farming land for plants growth and soil management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical parameters of Dabus villages agricultural land, including pH, %OC, %TN, ppmP, exchangeable acidity, Cmol/100g soil of CEC, exchangeable acidity and potassium content, g/cm³ of bulk density, %sand, %clay, %silt and textural class. All of the soil samples taken from the villages yielded a unnoticeable amount of results. However, all samples showed lower nutrient content than the standards, village nine (S9) was showed best results in most parameters. pH, N, P, K, organic carbon, and CEC were all evaluated. The pH was discovered to be rather acidic. The study area had insufficient organic carbon and other important elements for plant growth, according to the findings.
