A Geographical Study of Soil Characteristic in Sugarcane Cultivation of Rahuri Tahsil of Ahmednagar District (MS)

Abstract :

Sugarcane requires more water compare to other crops within growth periods. Its requires more water in summer
season due to increases in temperature. Its growth is found successfully where the annual rainfall received 1400 to 2500 mm. pH in water is high (more than 8.1) is found in 21.72 percent villages. These villages come under canal and other source of irrigation. Less than 7.5 pH is found in 44 percent villages in the study area. EC in soil is suggested that it’s sufficient range in 25.54 percent villages. Calcium is existing less than 1.5 per kg/hr. is not sufficient for sugarcane. It is found high proportion (more than 3.1 per kg/hr.) in 37 percent villages in study area. Magnesium covered high ratio in 28 villages and chlorides is found on high ratio in 67 percent villages, which is affected on sugarcane growth.
