Abstract

Studies were conducted to know the status of available micronutrient in relation to chemical properties in soils of Ausa tahsil of Latur district. For this purpose 100 surface soil samples were collected from 20 villages. The data show that these soils were neutral to alkaline in reaction, safe in EC, low to medium in organic carbon, and non-calcareous to calcareous in nature. Considering soil nutrient index value these soils were low in Zn and high in respect to Fe, Mn and Cu. Data show that available Zn was significantly and positively concluded with EC (0.20*) and O.C. (0.28*). Fe had significant negative relationship with pH (-0.47*) and CaCO₃ (-0.32**) while mn possessed significant negative correlation jpH (-0.33**) and CaCO₃ (-0.36**) and significant positive with O.C. (0.36**). Copper did not exhibit significant correlation with chemical properties.

Keywords

Abstract

Laboratory experiment was conducted to know the status of available N, P and K in relation to phyco-chemical properties of soils from Ahemadpur tahsil of Latur district. For this, one hundred surface soil samples were collected from 20 villages (5 samples from each village). The analyzed samples showed that these soils were neutral to moderately alkaline in reaction, safe limit in EC, low to high in organic carbon and non calcareous to calcareous in nature. The results further indicated that soils were low to medium in available N and P while, available K was medium to high range. The available P showed significant negative correlation with soil pH while, EC had significant positive correlation with available K in soil.

Keywords
