District wise picture with regard to changes in available sulphur over a cycle of ten years in the soils of Saurashtra region of Gujarat was studied by collecting 169 surface soil samples (0-15 cm) from tagged cultivated farmer’s field during the year 1990 and 2000. All the district in the year 1990 exhibited high levels of available S but after a span of 10 years different districts registered depletion of available S. Overall, the available S status was declined from 24.4 to 14.5 ppm in soils of Saurashtra region during a span of 10 years.

Abstract


District wise picture with regard to changes in available sulphur over a cycle of ten years in the soils of Saurashtra region of Gujarat was studied by collecting 169 surface soil samples (0-15 cm) from tagged cultivated farmer’s field during the year 1990 and 2000. All the district in the year 1990 exhibited high levels of available S but after a span of 10 years different districts registered depletion of available S. Overall, the available S status was declined from 24.4 to 14.5 ppm in soils of Saurashtra region during a span of 10 years.
