Abstract


Physical, physico-chemical and textural characteristics of soils of termite mounds from two different geological formations in around asbestos mining area of Brahmanapalli, Andhra Pradesh were studied and compared with corresponding adjacent termite free surface soils. Termite mounds soil contain significantly lower bulk density, higher amount of organic matter, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) than that of their corresponding adjacent surface soils.
