In order to evaluation the fertility status of each taluka of Dev Bhumi Dwarka district viz., Kalyanpur, Dwarka, Khambhalia and Bhanvad, thirty representative surface (0-15 cm) soil samples were collected from cultivated farmer’s field during May-2015. The chemical analysis of 120 surface samples indicates that soil were deficient with respect to available P2O5, whereas medium in available N and high in available K2O and S status. Among the DTPA extractable micronutrients, Mn and Cu were found high, whereas the soils were medium in Fe and Zn. The nutrient index values were low for available P2O5 (1.43), medium for available N (1.53) and S (2.10), Fe (1.92) and Zn (1.80) and high for available K2O (2.60), Mn (2.66) and Cu (2.92) in the soils of Dev Bhumi Dwarka district.

Abstract


In order to evaluation the fertility status of each taluka of Dev Bhumi Dwarka district viz., Kalyanpur, Dwarka, Khambhalia and Bhanvad, thirty representative surface (0-15 cm) soil samples were collected from cultivated farmer’s field during May-2015. The chemical analysis of 120 surface samples indicates that soil were deficient with respect to available P2O5, whereas medium in available N and high in available K2O and S status. Among the DTPA extractable micronutrients, Mn and Cu were found high, whereas the soils were medium in Fe and Zn. The nutrient index values were low for available P2O5 (1.43), medium for available N (1.53) and S (2.10), Fe (1.92) and Zn (1.80) and high for available K2O (2.60), Mn (2.66) and Cu (2.92) in the soils of Dev Bhumi Dwarka district.
