Estimation of Dielectric Behaviour of Soil in Relation to Balasore District in Odisha

Abstract

In the present paper an attempt has been made to estimate dielectric behaviour of soil in relation to Balasore district of in Odisha. MUT as Soil is a heterogeneous mixture of silicate particles, humus, and a type of insoluble salts and oxides of metals known as the solid-liquid-gaseous phase. Organic matter level and structural improvement of soil can be built up, to a varying degree, and maintained by continuous judicious application of manures, even under tropical conditions prevailing in India. It has been found that the dielectric constant of soil is dependent on the soil texture. Dialectic constant of soil are strongly dependent on soil moisture and soil texture. Moisture is soil significantly affect the dielectric properties of soil. Such study of soil in also useful in microwave remote sensing and agriculture in order to increase its productivity.
