Assessment of fertility status of soils of sindkhed moreshwar village in the district of Akola (Maharashtra)

Abstract

Soils of Sindkhed Moreshwar village, Akola district of Maharashtra state were investigated for their chemical properties like pH, EC, Organic carbon, Available nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. All the soils under study were slightly alkaline to moderately alkaline in reaction, EC (Electrical conductivity) value for these soils within safe limit. The organic carbon content in these soils is moderate to very high, available nitrogen is low, phosphorus range is from low to medium and potassium status is medium to high.
