Investigation on Chemical Constituents in Soil Samples from Selected Areas

In this research work, the three soil samples were collected from May-ni-gone Village, Loikaw Township. The important physicochemical properties such as moisture, pH, texture, organic matter content, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, exchangeable calcium and magnesium of the collected soil samples were determined. The moisture and texture of the soil samples were determined by oven drying method and pipette method respectively. The pH value was measured by pH meter. Available nitrogen was determined by permanganate method and Truog's method was used for available phosphorus. Flame photometer was used for the determination of available potassium. Moreover, the exchangeable calcium and magnesium of the samples were examined by EDTA titration method and Eriochrome Black T is used as indicator.
