Correlation between chemical properties and nutrient in soils of Basmat tehsil

Abstract

A survey was carried out to evaluate the nutrient status and to correlate the chemical properties with the nutrients like macro and micro nutrients of Basmat tahsil of Hingoli District. For this experiment 100 no. of samples were collected from 20 villages of Basmat tahsil. Five number of samples were collected each village which may possible represents the village identity. All the Soil Samples were analysed for Macro and micronutrients. On an average the available nitrogen content and available phosphorous content was observed low in category. Available potassium was found to be high. All Secondary nutrients were found to be sufficient in amount. In case of DTPA extractable micronutrient Fe and Cu were observed in sufficient quantity which was more than its critical limit. Major samples of Ma were observed in sufficient quantity and Zinc was observed in deficient range. Organic carbon showed positive significant correlation with available N and DTPA extractable Fe, CaCO3 showed positive significant association with av. K & DTPA Cu & Mn.
