Micronutrients status and their relationship with soil physicochemical properties of Naugarh block, Chandauli district, Uttar Pradesh, India

Abstract

Considering insufficient data on the status of micronutrients in Uttar Pradesh soils, the current inquiry was conducted to study the accessible micronutrient status and its relation to the physico-chemical characteristics of Naugarh block soils, Chandauli district, with distinct crop patterns and irrigated by the Ganga river and canal dams. In total, 52 samples were gathered and analyzed in the laboratory using conventional laboratory techniques from 5 Naugarh block villages. Results of this research show that in Naugarh block soils Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn are discovered at marginal level. Therefore, in perspective of a better agriculture with high yielding varieties, it is necessary to add this micronutrient for a long time to the soil.
