Studies were conducted to know the status of available micronutrient in relation to chemical properties in soils of Ausa tahsil of Latur district. For this purpose 100 surface soil samples were collected from 20 villages. The data show that these soils were neutral to alkaline in reaction, safe in EC, low to medium in organic carbon, and non-calcareous to calcareous in nature. Considering soil nutrient index value these soils were low in Zn and high in respect to Fe, Mn and Cu. Data show that available Zn was significantly and positively concluded with EC (0.20*) and O.C. (0.28*). Fe had significant negative relationship with pH (-0.47*) and CaCO3 (-0.32**) while mn possessed significant negative correlation jpH (-0.33**) and CaCO3 (-0.36**) and significant positive with O.C. (0.36**). Copper did not exhibit significant correlation with chemical properties.

Abstract


Studies were conducted to know the status of available micronutrient in relation to chemical properties in soils of Ausa tahsil of Latur district. For this purpose 100 surface soil samples were collected from 20 villages. The data show that these soils were neutral to alkaline in reaction, safe in EC, low to medium in organic carbon, and non-calcareous to calcareous in nature. Considering soil nutrient index value these soils were low in Zn and high in respect to Fe, Mn and Cu. Data show that available Zn was significantly and positively concluded with EC (0.20*) and O.C. (0.28*). Fe had significant negative relationship with pH (-0.47*) and CaCO3 (-0.32**) while mn possessed significant negative correlation jpH (-0.33**) and CaCO3 (-0.36**) and significant positive with O.C. (0.36**). Copper did not exhibit significant correlation with chemical properties.
