Abstract
The soil of the moradabad campus is pale brown, silty loam, inseptisol with slightly alkaline to neutral in pH. The soil has been characterized as Type III (Agrawal and Mehrotra 1952). In general, the soil is alluvial and well drained. Details of soil Physico-chemical properties are described in Table 1. The soil was characterized by low levels of soil-C (0.73-0.90 %), N (0.02-0.10 %) and P (0.01-0.04%) with moderate soil bulk density (1.28-1.49 gm-3) and water holding capacity (37-45 %). Thus, the study area is moderately fertile being low in soil-C, -N, and -P.
