The field experiment was conducted during 2006-2007 to study the effect of organic and inorganic on soil fertility and productivity of French bean in Vertisol. The highest grain yield, straw yield and growth parameters were observed where 150% RDF of NPK through chemical fertilizer including micronutrient and biofertilizers were applied. The higher level of NPK application that 150% RDF through chemical fertilizer recorded higher available N, P and K; while absence of chemical fertilizer that use of only vermicompost showed lower availability in soil. Application of FeSO4, ZnSO4 and vermicompost showed higher available Fe and Zn. It can be concluded that supply of higher quantity of NPK through chemical fertilizer was more efficient for harvesting maximum grain yield of French bean and improving quality parameters like protein content.Keywords

A study was carried out to determine the status and distribution of extractable micronutrients zinc (Zn), cupper (Cu), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) along a toposequence at Nagpur district, Maharashtra. The twelve profile pits were dug along upper, mid and lower slope positions and soil samples taken from identified horizons were subjected to laboratory analysis. The results show that in toposequence-I, pH of soils ranged from 6.8 to 8.7 indicating slightly neutral to moderately alkaline soil reaction. The EC of the soils in toposequence-I varied from 0.14 to 0.34 dSm-1 and in toposequence-II, it varied from 0.10 to 0.46 dSmv indicating low soluble salt content. Organic carbon content in toposequence-I ranged from 3.10 to 18.77 g kg-1 while in toposequence-II, it ranged from 1.55 to 12.77 g kg-1 and gradually decreased with depth. Exchangeable cations followed the order: Ca2+>Mg2+>Na+>K+ in all the pedons of both the toposequences indicating dominance of calcium bearing minerals in the parent material. Cation exchange capacity in toposequence-I varied from 35.6 to 69.0 cmol (p+) kg-1 while in toposequence-II, it varied from 37.8 to 67.2 cmol (p+) kg-1. Base saturation of toposequence-I varied from 91 to 127 per cent while in toposequence-II, it varied from 89 to 105 per cent. The DTPA extractable micronutrients followed the order: Mn2+>Fe2+>Cu2+>Zn2+ in toposequence-I and Fe2+>Cu2+>Mn2+>Zn2+ in toposequence-II. Almost all the soils of both the toposequences were deficient in Zn2+, respectively.Keywords

In the present study, soil-site suitability evaluation was made for the Nagalvadi micro-watershed of Wardha district for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Five soil series representing major land forms of Nagalvadi micro-watershed were evaluated for their suitability to chickpea cultivation using limitation method regarding number and intensity of limitations. The study suggests that chickpea is moderately suitable in soils of NG-2 and NG-5 but soils of NG-1, NG-3 and NG-4 are not suitable for chickpea cultivation. Soil depth, wetness (drainage), texture, coarse fragments, soil pH and organic carbon are the major limitations for crop growth in the most of soils of Nagalvadi micro-watershed. The suitability classes can be improved if the correctable limitations (soil fertility characteristics) are altered through application of farm yard manure, green manuring and inclusion of legumes rotation.Keywords
