Thirty representative surface (0-15 cm) soil samples were collected from cultivated farmer's field of each taluka of Gir Somnath district viz., Talala, Veraval, Sutrapada, Kodinar, Gir Gadhada and Una during 2014. The chemical analysis of 180 surface samples indicates that soil were deficient with respect to available N and P2O5, whereas medium in available S and high in available K2O status. Among the DTPA extractable micronutrients, Mn and Cu were found sufficient, whereas the soils were medium in Fe and Zn. The nutrient index values were low for available N (1.20) and P2O5 (1.27), medium for available S (1.74), Fe (2.24) and Zn (2.17) and high for available K2O (2.64), Mn (2.79) and Cu (3.00) in the soils of Gir Somnath district.Keywords

In order to study, the fluctuation of well/tube well water table, 30 sites each from 6 talukas of Gir Somnath district from where water table depths were measured before and after monsoon. In all, 152 wells and 28 tube wells water table levels were studied in May, 2014 and again after 6th month in November, 2014. The water table before monsoon (May, 2014) in wells and tube wells ranged from 4.58 to 42.81 and 15.29 to 122.32 with mean value of 17.21 and 59.96 m, respectively. Surprisingly, water of some of the wells of all the talukas and tube well of Talala taluka rises gradually and were flowing freely on soil surface during the monsoon. At the end of the monsoon (November, 2014), the overall water table of Gir Somnath district in well ranged from 1.52 to 24.46 and in tube well from 3.05 to 76.45 m with mean value of 8.01 and 16.71 m, respectively. The minimum fluctuation of water table (8.46 m) in well was observed in Kodinar taluka, whereas in tube well it was in Sutrapada (38.48 m) taluka. The maximum fluctuation of water table in well was observed in Una (9.85 m) taluka and in tube well in Gir Gadhada (61.16 m) taluka.Keywords

Surfaces soil samples (0-15 cm) were collected to study the dynamics of Mn fractions in the selective treatments of the LTFE’s conducted on groundnut-wheat-fodder sorghum at Instructional Farm, Junagadh Agricultural U1,iversity, Junagadh, during the year 1979-80 (1st year), 1989-90 (10th year) and 1999-2000 (20th year) after completion of crop cycle. The selected treatments were T1-Control, T2-FYM @ 25t/ha at an interval of 3 years, T3-1/2 RD of NP, T4-1/2 RD of NP + K, T5-RD of NP and T6-RD of NP+K to respective crops. The water soluble Mn was found very trace. Exchangeable form of Mn differs significantly only at 1st year and after 20lh year only. Remarkable decreased in exchangeable form of Mn was noticed in treatments without application of chemical fertilizers after 20th year. The control and FYM application recorded the highest values of DTPA-Mn at 1st and 20th year, and it was recorded highest (7.241 ppm) at 10th year in treatment T6. Overall increase in reducible form of Mn was found, but it was non significant when pooled over year. Overall mean registered an increase in total Mn content on the long run basis. After 20th year residual Mn decline in T1 whereas in other treatments. it was declined at 10lh and increased at 20th year. Per cent available of Mn increased up to 10lh year and then it was decreased. There was overall increase in total available form of Mn after a long run.Keywords

The dynamics of Fe fractions in the selective treatments were studied by collecting the surface soil samples (0-15 cm) from the LTFE’s conducted on groundnut-wheat-fodder sorghum at instructional farm, Junagadh Agril. University, Junagadh during the year 1979-80 (1st year), 1989-90 (10th year) and 1999-2000 (20th year) after completion of crop cycle. The selected treatments were T1-Control, T2-FYM @ 25 t/ha at an interval of 3 years, T3-½ RD of NP, T4-1/2 RD of NP+K, T5-RD of NP and T6-RD of NP+K to respective crops. On a long run, after 20th year the values of water soluble-Fe were recorded highest in T2 (0.722 ppm) and T1 (0.504 ppm) and the lowest in T5 (0.082 ppm) and T3 (0.130 ppm). The significantly highest exchangeable-Fe was recorded in T5 (2.084 ppm), at 10th year. The DTPA available and reducible Fe was found significantly higher under T1 and T2, while application of fertilizer registered mostly a decline in long term at 20th year. The total and residual-Fe content did not showed any significant differences either through treatment or through years. The percentage availability and available total-Fe were not affected significantly in pooled years, but Y x T interaction was found significant and in the initial years T5 and T6, while in the 20th years T1 and T2 recorded the highest values.Keywords

Seventy three surface (0-15 cm) soil samples were collected from the cultivated soils of Porbandar district, and were analyzed for EC and pH from saturation extract and 1:2.5 soil water ratios. The results revealed highly significant correlations between ECe and EC2.5 and between pHs and pH2.5. High correlation coefficient (r) and regression coefficient (b), high percentage of variance (R2) in case of EC2.5 and pH2.5 were observed and hence, prediction of ECe from EC2.5 and pHs from pH2.5 with greater precision was possible by using the regression equation for the soils of Porbandar district.Keywords

The dynamics of Cu fractions in the selective treatments were studied by collecting the surface soil samples (0-15 cm) from the L TFE’s conducted on groundnut-wheat-fodder sorghum at Instructional Farm, Junagadh Agril.University, Junagadh during the year 1979-80 (15t year), 1989-90 (10th year) and 1999-2000 (20th year) after completion of crop cycle. The selected treatments were T1-Control, T2-FYM @ 25 t/ha at an interval of 3 years, T3-½ RD of NP, T4-1/2 RD of NP+K, T5-RD of NP and T6-RD of NP+K to respective crops. The water soluble-Cu varied significantly in pooled results and the highest values were recorded in T5 (0.119 ppm) followed by T4 (0.115 ppm). Exchangeable form of Cu did not differ significantly during individual years and in pooled results. The RD of fertilizers + potassium (T6) recorded the highest value of DTP A-Cu at initial and 10th year and triggering utilization in long run rendering lower value at 20th year. Reducible-Cu was not affected significantly in pooled results, but untreated control (T1) recorded the highest value (0.269 ppm) at 20th year. Total and residual form of Cu content remain unaffected by different treatments during individual years and in pooled results, however, there was distinct numerical reduction in total and residual form of Cu over the year. Application of fertilizers enhanced utilization of available total-Cu, while conversion of total to available form and under utilization in T1 (1.907 ppm) and T2 (1.947 ppm) resulted in higher values after 20th year. The per cent availability of Cu content increased from initial to 20th year crop cycles in untreated control (T1) and FYM (T2) treatments.Keywords

The water soluble Zn was present in negligible quantity. Exchangeable forms of Zn differed significantly only at 20th year and also in pooled over years. Potassium enhanced the utilization of exchangeable form of Zn. The RD of fertilizers recorded the highest value of DTP A-Zn at initial and 10th year and triggering utilization in long run thereby rendering differences non significant at 20th year. Total Zn content did not differ significantly, while residual form of Zn was found significantly highest in T3 (38.171 ppm). The total available-Zn and Zn-per cent availability were not influenced significantly by different treatments in pooled results, but Y x T interactions were found significant and the highest values were recorded in T1-(3.648 ppm) and T2 (3.559 ppm), respectively after 20th year crop cycle.Keywords

In order to study the fluctuation of wells/tube wells water table, 30 sites each from 4 talukas of Dev Bhumi Dwarka district from where water table depths were measured before and after monsoon. In all, 94 wells and 26 tube wells water table levels were studied in May, 2015 and again after 6th month in November, 2015. The water table before monsoon (May, 2015) in wells and tube wells ranged from 3.05 to 27.44 and 6.71 to 192.1 with mean value of 15.56 and 75.99 m, respectively. At the end of the monsoon (November, 2015), the overall water table of Dev Bhumi Dwarka district in well ranged from 1.83 to 18.29 and in tube well from 5.49 to 51.83 m with mean value of 5.79 and 21.39 m, respectively. The minimum fluctuation of water table of well (7.72 m) and tube well (21.55 m) was observed in Dwarka taluka. The maximum fluctuation of water table in well (12.73 m) and tube well (104.37 m) was observed in Bhanvad taluka.Keywords
