Thirty representative surface (0-15 cm) soil samples were collected from cultivated farmer's field of each taluka of Gir Somnath district viz., Talala, Veraval, Sutrapada, Kodinar, Gir Gadhada and Una during 2014. The chemical analysis of 180 surface samples indicates that soil were deficient with respect to available N and P2O5, whereas medium in available S and high in available K2O status. Among the DTPA extractable micronutrients, Mn and Cu were found sufficient, whereas the soils were medium in Fe and Zn. The nutrient index values were low for available N (1.20) and P2O5 (1.27), medium for available S (1.74), Fe (2.24) and Zn (2.17) and high for available K2O (2.64), Mn (2.79) and Cu (3.00) in the soils of Gir Somnath district.Keywords

Thirty surface (0-15 cm) soil samples were collected from each talukas of Gir Somnath district viz., Talala, Veraval, Sutrapada, Kodinar, Gir Gadhada and Una. The physical characteristics properties of the soils were determined by using standard methods. The soils of Gir Somnath have overall values of bulk density, particle density, total porosity, MWHC and expansion varied from 1.24 to 1.45, 2.07 to 2.67 Mg m-3, 36.96 to 53.39, 31.06 to 56.89 and 5.54 to 35.52 per cent with mean value of 1.34, 2.49 Mg m-3, 46.00, 41.91 and 21.97 per cent, respectively.Keywords

In order to study, the fluctuation of well/tube well water table, 30 sites each from 6 talukas of Gir Somnath district from where water table depths were measured before and after monsoon. In all, 152 wells and 28 tube wells water table levels were studied in May, 2014 and again after 6th month in November, 2014. The water table before monsoon (May, 2014) in wells and tube wells ranged from 4.58 to 42.81 and 15.29 to 122.32 with mean value of 17.21 and 59.96 m, respectively. Surprisingly, water of some of the wells of all the talukas and tube well of Talala taluka rises gradually and were flowing freely on soil surface during the monsoon. At the end of the monsoon (November, 2014), the overall water table of Gir Somnath district in well ranged from 1.52 to 24.46 and in tube well from 3.05 to 76.45 m with mean value of 8.01 and 16.71 m, respectively. The minimum fluctuation of water table (8.46 m) in well was observed in Kodinar taluka, whereas in tube well it was in Sutrapada (38.48 m) taluka. The maximum fluctuation of water table in well was observed in Una (9.85 m) taluka and in tube well in Gir Gadhada (61.16 m) taluka.Keywords
