Land degradation poses a significant threat to food security and socioeconomic well-being, exacerbated by various human activities such as construction, dumping, deep plowing, continuous agricultural land use, deforestation, changes in land use, alterations in land topography, deep soil modifications, regulation of soil water, excessive use of nutrition and fertilizers, and heavy reliance on pesticides and insecticides, resulting in nutrient depletion and loss of topsoil. There is an urgent need for a thorough reevaluation of soil conditions to enhance soil quality. This paper presents a study focused on the physicochemical parameters of soil in Mandal Taluka, Gujarat.
