Determination of Electrical conductivity in a given soil sample
To determine the electrical conductivity and soluble salt content of soil. Soil salinity, which is caused due to the total soluble salt content, is determined by measuring the electrical conductivity of soil. EC is a measure of the ability of soil solution to carry electric current by the migration of ions under the influence of an electric field. Like metallic conductors, solutions also obey ohm’s law.

Soil extracts are a critical step in assessing the availability of essential nutrients for plant growth. By preparing soil extracts, farmers and agronomists can determine the nutrient status of the soil, enabling them to make informed decisions about fertilization and soil management. This process involves extracting soluble nutrients from the soil matrix, which can then be analyzed to provide insights into the soil's fertility and health.
