An investigation was taken at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore during 2013 in order to characterize the soils coming under Alfisols of Bangalore rural district (Doddaballapura) of Karnataka with respect to physical and chemical properties. The predominant finger millet growing area Doddaballapura of Bangalore rural district was selected for the present study. Ten surface samples (0-15cm) were collected from area and analyzed for physical and chemical properties. This study leads us to the conclusion of the nutrient's quantity of soils of Doddaballapura taluk, Bangalore rural district, Karnataka State. Result show that overage all the soils of Doddaballapura taluk have various physical and chemical parameters. This information will help farmers to decide the problems related to soil nutrients and also amount of fertilizers to be added to soil to make production economic.

An investigation was taken at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore during 2013 in order to characterize the soils coming under Alfisols of Bangalore rural district (Doddaballapura) of Karnataka with respect to physical and chemical properties. The predominant finger millet growing area Doddaballapura of Bangalore rural district was selected for the present study. Ten surface samples (0-15cm) were collected from area and analyzed for physical and chemical properties. This study leads us to the conclusion of the nutrient's quantity of soils of Doddaballapura taluk, Bangalore rural district, Karnataka State. Result show that overage all the soils of Doddaballapura taluk have various physical and chemical parameters. This information will help farmers to decide the problems related to soil nutrients and also amount of fertilizers to be added to soil to make production economic.
