Comparative Analysis of Soil Properties for Influence of Fertilizers using Remote Sensing Techniques

Soil properties assessment is critical for agricultural, environmental management.Regular soil assessment laboratory methods are very time consuming and expensive.For this work ground based remote sensing methods using spectroscopy technique was used in laboratory for soil properties assessment.Whereas spectral signature obtaining the diffused reflectance from spectroradiometer data is used.The different statistical methods are used for get the quantitative results of the acquired spectral data.By using this innovative technique comparative analysis of collected soil samples in premonsoon and postmonsoon was execute for finding the influence of fertilizers in different seasons.Soil samples are collected in context of surface and subsurface in premonsoon and post monsoon season for analyzing the influence of fertilizers on soil quality in banana and cotton crops soil.Soil properties analysis including chemical properties like nitrogen, phosphorus, potash, carbon, pH as well as physical properties like sand, silt, clay, soil organic matter (SOM), moisture were measured.The major difference is found in the availability of soil contents are higher in premonsoon season than postmonsoon season soil samples.Thus, this study implied that spectroscopic ground based remote sensing data based method provided great potential to analyze the soil properties.
