ABSTRACT
Thanjavur is known as granary of Tamil Nadu; Paddy is the major crop of this district. Its productivity is influenced by the soil characteristics and irrigation system. Our human society solely depends on the soil for food production. The fundamental data of soil fertility and crop production is very limited in paddy fields at Thanjavur District. The aim of the study is to assess the correlation between the physico- chemical properties in paddy cultivation field at Thirupananthal Taluk, Thanjavur District. The study period is from January 2020 to December 2020. In this study, soil samples were taken using systematic random sampling method and regular soil digging (0-30 cm) (25 x 25 x 30 cm) and hand sorting method. Physical and chemical properties of soil were analyzed using standard methods. Among the 14 parameters analyzed, seven parameters were significantly higher in high cultivation area than that in the low cultivation area. Among the 13 soil parameters, 28 combinations of soil parameter were positively affected or relative with each other of high significance. Similarly, 25 combinations in soil parameters had significantly negative relation with the one other. Correlation between the analytical parameters shows the significant relationship with one another. Usage of pesticides in the paddy cultivation field can also influence the soil quality.
