Nutritional Survey of ber orchards in Jodhpur and Pali district of Rajasthan

Abstract

The ber orchards located at Jodhpur and Pali districts of Rajasthan were surveyed in 2015 to 2016. The soil and leaf samples were collected from Jodhpur and Pali 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 Pali district than Jodhpur whereas the potassium content was recorded more in Jodhpur ranked by Pali. The ber yield was also recorded more in Pali district as compared to Jalore Jodhpur, the possible reason of more yields in Pali district might be due to higher content of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium in soil as well as in leaf samples.
