Abstract

 Measurement of physicochemical parameters of soil is necessary to choose appropriate dozes of fertilizers for the deficient component in the soil and to improves crop yield. Thirteen soil samples collected from different fields of Maharastra district were analysed for various parameters like total organic carbon, available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P2O5) and potassium [K2O], pH, electrical conductivity, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc etc. The data revealed high variation in soil pH, varying between 5.79 and 8.25. Electrical conductivity, levels of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, free line, organic carbon, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu ranged from 122 to 477 kg ha-1, 27 to 302 kg ka-1, 153 to 1325 kg ha-1, 8 to 46 kg ha-1, 0.71 to 12.13 kg ha-1, 0.26 to 143.0 per cent, 0.64 to 5.13 ppm, 0.06 to 2.89 ppm, 0.25 to 3.24 pm and 0.18 to 5.13 ppm, respectively. The study recommonds, regular analysis of soil to maintain its quality.
