. Properties of termite mounds and their adjacent surface soils: A case study from Velidandla area, Cuddapah District, Andhra Pradesh

Abstract

The physical and physicochemical properties of soils of termite mounds from the Velidandla area of Andhra Pradesh were studied and compared with the corresponding adjacent surface soils. It was found that the termite mounds soil contains significantly higher organic matter content, pH, electrical conductivity and lower bulk density than that of their adjacent surface soils
