Abstract

Physico-chemical properties of termite mound soil

Author(s): A. J. Dhembare

The objective of this study was to determine the termite mound soil properties from Hasnapur village during November2012 to March 2013. The surrounding soil and mound soil consisted of 61.1% and 38.9% sand and 29.5% and 70.59% clay, respectively. There were significant differentiation between mound and adjacent soil. The test parameters such as organic carbon, phosphorus, K, Mg, Fe, Zn and Cu were inclining while N, Ca, S and Mn were decline in mound soil. This study highlights that termite mound soil properties are generally more than the surrounding. The study showed highly positive correlation between mound and surround soil (r= 0.99) and significant‘t’ test.
