A Survey on Detection of Organic Chemicals in Soil

Abstract

Nowadays crops yield are not nutritious and lacks vitamins. This degrades the quality of the crops. Because of the organic fertilizers used by the farmer, the soil is contaminated with the organic chemicals contained in the soil. But the soil that has been used till now might be contaminated by the organic fertilizers used. Even if a farmer decides to go for complete organic farming, the soil already contains chemicals which will be absorbed by the fruits, vegetables tested for organic contamination and they might show positive results even after using complete organic farming techniques. The farmer won’t know how much the soil is been contaminated until now. So, to detect the level of organic contamination in the soil and the components of the soil we are doing a research project in which we will be trying to detect the organic constituents in the soil and with proportion and measures to overcome the contamination fully remove the organic contaminations. This system would be the first of a kind since no system like this has been developed or manufactured till now. The project would be more benefited the farmers who want to move towards fully organic farming and increased the quality of vegetables, fruits, grains, etc.
