The importance of soil resources to attain sustainability in crop production, eco-development and protection of environment is an established fact. Management of soil on a scientific basis is essential for sustained and increased agricultural production, on this prime perspective a study on physiochemical characters of soils has been conducted in the Talapilli Taluk of Thrissur District, India. Talapilli is the agricultural dominant area in the District and hence the study help in more understanding of the quality of the soil for proper management practices in agriculture and other sectors as well. The physiochemical characters analyzed in the study are texture, soil depth, slope, erosion, pH, electrical conductivity, primary nutrients like available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and secondary nutrients like magnesium and sulphur. The result indicates that Talapilli has gravelly clay loam and gravelly sandy clay loam soils in higher proportion having moderate to deep soil depth with moderate slope and less to moderate intensity of erosion. As far as chemical composition is concerned in Talapilli Taluk major proportion of soil has pH ranges from 5.1 to 6, that which shows the acidic nature of the soil. The nutrient status is appreciably good in the Taluk except few places in the Taluk that is in the centre, north and northeast of the Taluk. To consider the nutrients in specific available nitrogen and potassium is medium in the Taluk among primary nutrients and magnesium is low and sulphur is high among secondary nutrients.
