Abstract

The present study was conducted during the year 2021 - 2022 with an objectives to find out the major, secondary and micronutrients status of collected soil sample from study area and to prepare soil fertility map of Barbhata village based on the fertility status and to rating of soil test values with available nutrients. One hundred and seventy soil samples were collected from study area using GPS. Available N, P, K, S content in the soil of the study region varied from 151.00 to 253.79, 03.12 to 15.70, 224.00 to 399.39, 5.51 – 25.91 kg/ha respectively with mean value 201.03, 10.86, 337.68, 14.56 kg/ha respectively. The DTPA extractable iron, manganese, copper, zinc and boron in soils ranged from 30.02 to 59.94, 17.14 to 36.92, 1.06 to 4.38, 0.66 to 1.28, and 0.30 to 1.23 mg/kg respectively with mean value 48.28, 27.47, 2.83, 0.90 and 0.74 mg/kg respectively.
