Abstract
Jalgaon district is located in the north of Maharashtra. About 75% to
85% of the population of the district is dependent on agriculture and
agro-based industries. In addition to traditional farming, chemical farming is
also practiced mainly in the district, but in the last few years, it has been
noticed that soil texture is deteriorating due to overuse of chemical
fertilizers. There is a huge difference in the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash in the soil in most of the areas. Soil testing is often neglected by
farmers, and overuse of chemical fertilizers has led to a decrease in the
number of bacteria in the soil, leading to the disappearance of naturally
occurring fertilizers from the soil. As a result, the soil texture has
deteriorated drastically and if it is not repaired in time, the possibility of
major damage in the future cannot be ruled out. This research has been
constructed to solve this problem.
