Thirumala Siddalingappa Book order

The book focuses on assessing soil resources at an agricultural and horticultural research farm, evaluating their potential and constraints for crop production. It explores the depth-wise distribution of soil properties across various land use systems and analyzes the fertility status of the soil in these contexts. Additionally, it examines the relationship between soil properties and fertility, providing insights into how different land use systems affect soil quality and agricultural productivity.

The study identifies station-IV as slightly polluted due to agricultural runoff and domestic waste, leading to contamination from encroachment. In contrast, other stations remain within permissible limits for physico-chemical parameters. Significant relationships among various parameters were noted, with some showing statistical significance. Notably, plankton density indicates pollution at station-IV, while water from the other stations is deemed suitable for agricultural and domestic use, provided appropriate measures are taken to restore the lake's health.
