Abstract: The paper presents the experimental results which have been carried out for understanding the behavior of soliddielectrics in the form of soil at microwave frequency and check the dielectric and electric response of some fertilizers insoil in presence of microwave energy. A simple and rapid measurement method (two point method) was used to determinethe dielectric constant at microwave frequency. The microwave beam generated by microwave source was reflected bythe dielectric sample which was placed in rectangular waveguide and fundamental mode was considered. The microwavesource reflection klystron of frequency range of X- band was used. The soil samples were prepared by mixing differentconcentrations of some fertilizers in soil. The soils were taken from ‘Behror Alwar (RAJ)’ and different fertilizers ‘Urea,Shree Ram-33, Shree Ram-50P, D.A.P., Mosaic’ were taken from market.
