Nutritional Survey of Ber orchards in Nagaur, Jalore and Sirohi district of Rajasthan

Abstract

The ber orchards located at Nagaur, Sirohi and Jalore districts of Rajasthan were surveyed in 2013 to 2014. The soil and leaf samples were collected from Nagaur, Sirohi and Jalore district of Rajasthan. These samples were dried, grinded and analyzed for nutrient analysis. Results showed that the nitrogen, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, content in soil and leaf samples were recorded higher in Sirohi district followed by Nagaur and Jalore whereas the potassium content was recorded more in Nagaur ranked by Jalore and Sirohi. The ber yield was also recorded more in Sirohi district as compared to Jalore and Nagaur, the possible reason of more yield in Sirohi district might be due to higher content of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium in soil as well as in leaf samples.
