Soil Salinity Management with the Help of Ultrasonic Characterization

Paritosh L Mishra*, Ajay B Lad, Urvashi P Manik

The present manuscript reports the ultrasonic characterization of fertilizer at varying concentration in different solvents at a fixed temperature. Sound speed or ultrasonic velocity (U) and density (ρ) measurement were carried out by 2 MHz frequency digital ultrasonic interferometer. With the help of observed experimental values of sound speed and density a number of acoustical and physical parameters have been estimated using the standard relations. The acoustical and physical studies clarify the nature of interaction between binary as well as ternary solutions. The variation in these parameters plays a significant role in understanding the solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions between the constituent molecules. This kind of approach lead to better understand of interactions exists in between the fertilizers and different solvents. Therefore the proposed study is worthwhile, interesting from number of aspects, and has applications in pure and applied research in the field of agriculture in view to increase fertility of soil or to counteract the problem of soil salinity.
