The cultivated land of Jharkhand consists
of 2 unique agro-ecosystems i.e. upland and lowland
due to undulating Terrain. However, differences in
physical and chemical properties of soil of these
agro-ecosystems have been rarely reported. Further,
rise in mean average temperature and lowering rain-
fall amount has been reported in western part of the
state (Palamu, Latehar and Garhwa district) due to
climate change. This might also affect physical and
chemical properties of the soil. Therefore, physical
and chemical characterization of upland and lowland
soil of Garhwa district was carried out in this study
with view to provide soil information for better soil
management. The result found signifcant differences
in physical and chemical properties between upland
and lowland soil. Lowland soil had signifcantly low
sand and high silt and clay content as compared to
upland soil. Therefore, bulk density and fled capacity
was also higher in lowland (BD 1.63±0.11 Mg m–3
,
FC 21.24±2.17%) as compared to upland soil (BD
1.53±0.07 Mg m–3
, FC 19.68±2.07%). Upland soils
(pH 5.0–7.6) were more acidic than that of lowland
(pH 6.3–7.9) soils in most of the blocks. The soil of
lowland was relatively higher in available nitrogen
and soil organic carbon as compared to upland soil,
while lower in available phosphorus and potassium.
