Analysis of Soils from Latur District, Maharashtra

In the present study it was preferred to investigate the soil samples for its physico-chemical analysis of some parameters and micronutrient status of DTPA-Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn in soils fromlatur district area of Marathwada region. Fifteen representative samples were collected and analyzed for soil properties and fertility status. The results obtained that the study area soils are neutral to alkaline in soil reaction, electrical conductivity in safe range, low to high in organic carbon content and non-calcareous to calcareous in nature. Considering soil nutrient index values these soils are deficient in DTPA- Zn while Sufficient in DTPA-Fe, Cu and Mn.
