Laboratory experiment was conducted to know the status of available N, P and K in relation to phyco-chemical properties of soils from Ahemadpur tahsil of Latur district. For this, one hundred surface soil samples were collected from 20 villages (5 samples from each village). The analyzed samples showed that these soils were neutral to moderately alkaline in reaction, safe limit in EC, low to high in organic carbon and non calcareous to calcareous in nature. The results further indicated that soils were low to medium in available N and P while, available K was medium to high range. The available P showed significant negative correlation with soil pH while, EC had significant positive correlation with available K in soil.

Abstract


Laboratory experiment was conducted to know the status of available N, P and K in relation to phyco-chemical properties of soils from Ahemadpur tahsil of Latur district. For this, one hundred surface soil samples were collected from 20 villages (5 samples from each village). The analyzed samples showed that these soils were neutral to moderately alkaline in reaction, safe limit in EC, low to high in organic carbon and non calcareous to calcareous in nature. The results further indicated that soils were low to medium in available N and P while, available K was medium to high range. The available P showed significant negative correlation with soil pH while, EC had significant positive correlation with available K in soil.
