Abstract: The rhizosphere is an important ecological region that is utilized to study the relationships among plant communities, soil, and microbial communities. In the plant rhizosphere area, particularly in the small region near the root of the plant, there are great differences in acid-base properties, redox potential, and microbial populations than in the general soil because of root secretions. The Experiment was carried out in the in laboratory of Department of Environmental Science, SHUATS, Allahabad to study the effect of modern agricultural practices on chemical properties of rhizospheric and non- rhizospheric soils of Chaka block of Allahabad district, U.P. The soil samples were collected from 12 different sites of farmer’s field and analyzed for chemical properties i.e. pH, EC, Organic matter, total organic carbon, available N, P and K. Soil pH range from 7.10 - 8.96, EC range from 0.18 -0.31 dSm-1, Organic matter 0.10-0.60 %, total organic carbon range from 2925 kg ha-1-13500 kg ha-1, available nitrogen 124-221kg ha-1, available phosphorus 19-22 kg ha-1, available potassium 240 - 270 kg ha-1, respectively for rhizospheric soil. In case of non rhizospheric soil pH range from 7.00-8.96, EC range from 0.09-0.22 dSm-1, Organic matter 0.12-0.50 %, total organic carbon range from 1200-2625 kg ha-1, available nitrogen 97-187 kg ha-1, available phosphorus 12-15 kg ha-1, available potassium 219-248.33 kg ha-1, respectively. Our results showed synthetically that the quality of rhizosphere soil was better than that of the non-rhizosphere soil.
