Abstract

Soil fertility is one of the important factors controlling yields of the crops. Soil characterization in relation to evaluation of fertility status of the soils of an area or region is an important aspect in context of sustainable agriculture production. Because of imbalanced and inadequate fertilizer use coupled with low efficiency of other inputs, the response (production) efficiency of chemical fertilizer nutrients has declined tremendously under intensive agriculture in recent years. The existing have a look at undertaken to evaluate the nutrient fame of soils of Ridhora watershed in Nagpur district, Maharashtra during the year 2010-11. The nutrient status in soil profile of Ridhora watershed area. Based totally of fertility ratings, pH of soils turned into neutral to alkaline. Electric conductivity became ordinary (<1.0 dS/m). Soil organic carbon was low to high, with extra than 70% of examine area falling in the medium to high class. Whereas the soil were low to high 126.38

Conclusion

In the current study, the soil test report values are used to classify several significant soil features like village wise soil fertility indices of available Nitrogen (N), Available Phosphorus (P), Available Potassium (K), Organic Carbon (OC) along with Micronutrient like Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu as well as the parameter Soil Reaction (pH), CEC and CaCO3. The classification and prediction of the village wise soil parameters aids in reducing wasteful expenditure on fertilizer inputs, increase profitability, save the time of chemical soil analysis experts, improves soil health and environmental quality.
