Analysis of Metals Present in Soils of Mango, Sapota, Lemon and Banana Fields at Guntur District

Authors(2) :-MVKSrivani, P. BrahmajiRao

Some of the heavy metals used in the agriculture fields are toxic in high concentrations. Generally heavy metals are added from mine tailings, domestic waste, application of fertilizers and Pesticides, coal combustion etc. In this study soil samples were collected from Sekuru of Tenali Mandalam in Guntur district. Soil samples were collected randomly dried, sieved and packed in the plastic bags and analyzed by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Metals like Copper, Zinc, Lead, Manganese, Arsenic and Nickel were analyzed. The total of 72 samples were collected from Sekuru at a depth of four, six and eight inches. The average concentration of samples were as follows: Copper for 4 inches depth in Banana is 25.84 ppm, Lemon 20.89, Mango 9.88ppm andSapota 4.18ppm. For 6 inches 22.43ppm(Banana) 19.23 ppm(Lemon),11.16ppm(Mango). 4.06ppm(Sapota). and for 8 inches Banana 21.6ppm, Lemon 19.3ppm, Mango 9.96ppm and Sapota 3.78 ppm. The concentration of Zinc for 4 inches in Banana 44.77ppm, Lemon 55.37ppm Mango27.08ppm Sapota 16.04ppm. For 6 inches 49.42PPM(Banana), 45.89PPM(Lemon), 22.15PPM(Mango), 13.48ppm.(Sapota) For 8 inches 50.11 ppm(Bnana),42.46 ppm(Lemon), 22.69ppm(Mango), 12.60ppm(Sapota) .Concentration of Manganese for 4 inches 545.60ppm(Banana), 528.15ppm(Lemon) 387.67ppm(Mango), 179.49ppm(Sapota). For 6 inches 532.99 ppm(Banana), 448.67ppm(Lemon), 343.80 ppm(Mango), 189.49ppm(Sapota) and for 8 inches the concentration is 521.08ppm(Banana), 499.99ppm(Lemon), 344.55ppm(Mango), 180.81ppm(Sapota). Ihe average concentration of Nickel for 4 inches 0.19 for Banana, 0.19ppm for Lemon 0.65ppm for Mango and 0.14 ppm for Sapota. For 6 inches the concentration is 0.17ppm in Banana, 0.15ppm in Lemon, 0.67ppm for Mango and 0.17ppm for Sapota. And the concentration for 8 inches is as follows 0.15ppm for Banana,0.17ppm for lemon,0.51ppm for Mango and 0.16ppm for SapotaThe concentration of Arsenic in Mango and Sapota are absent and in lemon for 4 inches 5.22ppm and Banana 24.87ppm for 6 inches Lemon 4.13ppm and Banana 19.46ppm and for 8 inches Lemon 3.39ppm and banana 14.85ppm respectively.
