Microwave has prominent role in the present era due to its application in remote sensing. Present investigation is emphasized to explore the impact of potassium nitrate and ammonium sulphate on dielectric traits of soil samples by exposing it to X and J-band microwave frequencies. For this two different soil samples were collected from Jalna and badnapur of Maharashtra. The infinite sample method was employed for the determination of dielectric constant (e’), dielectric loss (e”), AC Conductivity and Relaxation Time of the soils. The variation in values of all the parameters of these samples mixed with different concentration of potassium nitrate and ammonium sulphate were then measured at fixed frequency X-band (6 GHz) and J-band (9.86 GHz).
