Effects of Hydrogel on Physical and Chemical Properties of Soil

This experiment was acted at the Rajiv Gandhi South Campus, Barkachha (BHU) Mirzapur, as a pot sophistication study, from November 2018 to March 2019–20. This experiment is a completely randomised design, communicable three replications with six situations, i.e., T1: Control, T2: 5 g kg-1 Hydrogel, T3: 10 g kg-1 Hydrogel, T4: 15 g kg-1 Hydrogel, T5: 20 g kg-1 Hydrogel, and T6: 25 g kg-1 Hydrogel. The soil was hatched with various doses of hydrogel for 120 days. The samples were composed after process of early development, processed in a workshop, and analysed for physical and synthetic properties of soil. The results showed that the use of hydrogel had a significant affect the various soil possessions, particularly the water possession capacity and size density of the soil. Other soil features that were significantly affected were particle bulk, porosity, energetic conductivity, soil convenient nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. However, the request of hydrogel did not influence the pH of soil or the natural carbon content of soil. The use of hydrogel at a rate of 25 g kg1 showed the maximal values of free N, P, K, and S content in soil as well as the water property capacity. In few soil properties, the situation containing 25 g kg-1 hydrogel was raise expected statistically equivalent to that containing 20 g kg-1 hydrogel.
