ANALYSIS OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF THE TERMITE MOUNDS FROM INDUSTRIAL AREA (MIDC) OF SHRIRAMPUR

Termites are the Eusocial Isopteran insects belonging to Family Termitidae. Termites are important organisms in the natural food chain. Because they feeds on the all types of organic matter and vanish them. Termites are observed in the area where plenty of organic matter is there. So at the Shrirampur MIDC Corporation area Predominant Termite mounds are found. These Termites mounds abundantly in the open, unused and empty plots. So Thatswhy this areas taken for study. The Soil samples are collected from 20 different sites. After that various Physico-chemical parameters of soils were analysed. The soil of Termite Mounds and Surrounding Control soil showing significant difference in between them.
