Document Abstract
This abstract presents a summary of the study titled "Characterization of White Soil in the Batwahi Area of
Chhattisgarh: An Analysis of Physico-Chemical Properties." The study aims to investigate the physico-chemical properties of
white soil in the Batwahi area of Chhattisgarh, India, in order to better understand its composition and potential agricultural
suitability.The research methodology involved collecting soil samples from various locations within the Batwahi area and
conducting laboratory analyses to determine key physico-chemical properties. These properties include pH value, conductivity,
total alkalinity, chlorides, nitrates, CaCO3 content, calcium, magnesium, iron, fluorides, and sulfates(Dewangan, et al.,2022).
Preliminary results indicate that the pH value of the white soil in the Batwahi area falls within the acceptable range for
agricultural purposes. Conductivity levels are relatively low, suggesting good water retention capacity. Total alkalinity and
chlorides are within acceptable limits, indicating favorable soil conditions(Dewangan.,2022).. Nitrates are below detectable
levels, implying minimal contamination.The CaCO3 content in the white soil is relatively low, which may affect its calcium
availability for plant growth. Calcium and magnesium levels are within acceptable ranges, contributing to soil fertility. Iron is
not detected in the analyzed samples, suggesting low iron content. Fluoride levels are slightly elevated but still within permissible
limits. Sulfate levels are within acceptable ranges, indicating favorable soil conditions.The findings of this study will contribute
to a better understanding of the physico-chemical properties of white soil in the Batwahi area of Chhattisgarh. This knowledge
will be valuable for soil management and agricultural practices in the region, aiding in sustainable land use planning and crop
productivity enhancement. Further analysis and interpretation of the data are needed to draw comprehensive conclusions and
provide recommendations for soil conservation and agricultural practices in the Batwahi area.
