Determination of organic nitrogen,carbon and chloride in soil

The analysis of soil samples from six different localities of the campus of institute were carried out. It was found that the organic nitrogen in soil samples ranged from 140 g / hector to 420 g/hector. The low amount of organic nitrogen was noted in soil samples A,B,C,D while medium amount was found in sample E and F. The percentage of organic carbon content ranged from 0.74 % to 0.78 %. In soil sample B,C,F the organic carbon content found was low whearas it was noted medium in soil sample A, D, and E. The chloride content in the soil ranged from 283.6 mg/ liter to 368.7 mg/liter. The lowest chloride content noted in soil sample B (283.6 mg/liter) and the maximum content found in sample C (368.7mg/liter) which was highest chloride content among all the six soil samples. The variation in all the samples were noted in different localities of the campus of institute.
