A study entitled “Characterization of soil of CRC at SVPUAT, Meerut based on physical properties ”was carried out during 2013–14. Soil Samples collected from different depths viz 0–15, 15–30 cm were processed and analyzed for various physical properties. The overall quality of CRC soil appears to be poor to medium except certain parameters. Majority of soil samples were found moderately slow to moderate in hydraulic conductivity (0.48–1.8 and 1.8–6.24 cm/hr) and infiltration rate (0.5–2.0 and 2.0–6.5 cm/hr) which may be attributed to poor Organic Carbon, low porosity and high BD. Bulk density was negatively and significantly correlated with porosity (r=-0.92), IR (r=-0.67) and HC (r=-0.65) but positive non significant relationship was observed between BD and water stable aggregates. Significantly positive correlation of Porosity with IR(r=0.60) and HC (r=0.58) was found. Highly significant positive correlation r=0.99 was observed between IR and HC of CRC soil.
