Equipment 

Electrical conductivity meter. 

Reagent -

1. Potassium chloride, kcl- 0.001N Dissolve 0.7456gm kcl in distilled water and add water and make up volume to 1L at 25 degrees Celsius. It has an electrical conductivity of 1.412ms cm^-1 or dsm^-1.

Procedure 

Take 20 GM of soil sample in beaker. 

Add 50ml of distilled water. 

Stir for 15 minutes .

Stand for half hour. 

take the reading.

Results - 

Reading Is electrical conductivity of soil sample. Unit of E. C. Is dsm-¹.
