Suitability assessment of available sulphur in soil by use of different extractant reagents under pigeon pea grown soils of Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh

Abstract

An experiment was carried out in 2017 for evaluation of extracting reagents for available sulphur in surface soil (0-15 cm) in pigeon pea grown soil of different village of Ballia to assess the suitability extracting reagents for available sulphur (SO4) in the collected soil samples (0-15 cm) from seventeen blocks (Bairiya, Bansdih, Belhari, Beruarbari, Chilkahar, Dubhad, Garwar, Hanumangang, Maniyar, Murlichhapra, Nagra, Navanagar, Pandah, Rasra, Revati, Siar and Sohaon) of 85 villages of Ballia district of pulses (Pigeon Pea) grown field. The different extracting reagents were used as available-S (0.15 percent CaCl2 extractable), KCl extractable-S, 0.5 M NaHCO3 extractable-S, HCl extractable-S, Morgan’s reagent extractable-S. among the extracting reagents 0.15 % CaCl2 extractant was appeared to suitable with different village’s soil.
