Evaluation of micronutrient status of an Inceptisols of Surguja district (C.G)

Abstract

The precise nutrient management is one of the most important and integral part of the modern day agriculture. The nutrients present in the soil fertility is the status of the soil to supply nutrients to plants in adequate amounts and in suitable proportions. The micronutrients are the nutrients which are used by the field crops in very small quantities (less than 1 ppm), however are required to catalyse various enzymic activities within the plants to ascertain this, a study was conducted to assess the fertility status of soils of research farm, College of Agriculture, Ambikapur and KVK farm, Ambikapur under Surguja district of Chhattisgarh. The 101 soil samples (0-15) were randomly collected. The available micronutrients Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn and B were analysed. The fertility ratings categorized based on nutrient value for different parameters.
