RAPID ESTIMATION OF AVAILABLE POTASSIUM IN SOIL BY TDS METER

Abstract

In a soil there are thirteen nutrients which are helpful for the better yield of crop. These thirteen nutrients are
further classified into major and minor nutrients. Major nutrients plays vital role in good crop yield and better crop
management through soil amendment. Major nutrients of the soil comprises of Nitrogen (N),Phosphorus (P)and
Potassium(K) these nutrients are popularly known as NPK. This research article is aimed in determining the available
potassium (K) in soil using TDS meter. The method suggested is very fast as compared to conventional method.
