Evaluatuon of Soil Fetility Status of Available N, P and K in Inceptisol of Baloda Block Janjgir District of Chhattisgarh

Grid based (GPS) surface (0-15 cm) soil samples by systematic survey were collected from 87 villages in Baloda block where 1003 samples were identified from Inceptisol. These soil samples were analyzed for N, P and K and categorized as low medium and high as per criteria followed in the soil testing laboratory. Based upon the coefficient of correlation between macronutrients and soil properties, a significant and positive correlations observed between soil pH and available N, P, K. Electrical conductivity exhibited significant and positive relationship with available N, P, K and organic C showed significant and positive correlation with available N and K.
