摘要：The objective of this paper was to study the variability of the dielectric constant of dry soils with theirphysical parameters viz sand, silt, clay contents, bulk density and wilting point. Twenty nine soil samples werecollected from different locations of four states Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamilnadu of India at thedepth of 0 – 15 cm. Soil samples were analyzed for physical properties. The dielectric constant of dry soil samples wasmeasured at C- band microwave frequency 4.5 GHz and its variation with physical parameters of soil samples werepresented. The results were analyzed statistically, which showed that the dielectric constant has significant positivecorrelation with sand and bulk density of soil while significant negative correlation with silt, clay, wilting point andporosity of soil. Similarly higher order polynomial correlation of bulk density with texture of soil was observed.
