METHODS OF 

APPLYING A. 

Padcasting,spraying,side 

dressing,band 

methods... 

EXPERIMENT TO 

FIND THE PERCENTAGE OF 

HUMUS CONTENT IN THE SOIL. 

Mass of crucible=xg mass of 

cruable +drysoil=yg mass of 

drysoil=y-x=A(g),mass of 

drysoil alterlating=z-x=B 

(g),mass of humus=A-B % of 

humus=A-B/A 

X100.... 

EXPERIMENT TO FIND 

THE % OF SOIL WATER. 

METHOD=lnitial mass of the 

soil is recorded and heated 

in a crucible the mass is 

recorded after heating nd 

the mar7 of water is 

recorded. Mass of crucible=X 

(g),mass of cruable + fresh 

soil=Y-X=A(g),mass of 

crucible+heated soil=Z 

(g),mass of dried soil=Z-X=B 

(g),mass of water=(A-B) (g)
