Analysis of Soil Properties of Ponds in Sabang Block Areas, West Bengal, India

The objective of the study was too evaluated of the routine use of a commercially and naturally improvement of soil quality of ponds. So, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium in the year of experiments was in no way unfavorable for the growth of the carps. Bacteria can be found in fresh water, soil, air, and seawater. Bacteria differ in their nature depending on their environment. Thus periphyton bacteria has different characteristic in different zone. But the study discussed about soil analysis in fresh water ponds in Sabang block areas. The study carried out for about one year in Sabang block areas. Soil gathered in a bucket. This soil was collected from five ponds in Sabang block areas (Ghat pond, Dhara pond, Majari pond, Nandan pond, and Masanta pond). There were two kinds of pond: control pond and experimental pond. The semi-dried cow dank was added to this pond. In this experiment, we used a few different methods. The AOAC standard methods were used to analyse the pond bottom soil for nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium (1980). However, the nitrogen level in all of the experimental ponds increased significantly after treatment. Phosphorus plays an important role in increasing pond productivity. Potassium is not a limiting factor and is not required to increase output. Future scope is free hygienic fishes production in ponds.
