The study was conducted to evaluate the major and micronutrient status of Kelapur block, Yavatmal district, Maharashtra. A total of 3436 soil samples were collected by gird method (325×325 interval) at a depth of 0-15 cm and analyzed for soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC), available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulphur (S) and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn). Soils were neutral to slightly alkaline (pH 6.6-8.8) and non-saline (EC <1 dSm-1). OC was medium to high with a mean value of 0.83%. Among the nutrients, available N was invariably deficient (100%) and deficiency of available Zn (70%), S (59.7%), P (37.6%) and Fe (27.9%) were observed. The available K was generally high with a mean of 694 kg ha-1 and Mn and Cu were sufficient. Coefficient of variation (CV) indicated that P, K, S, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu varied highly (CV > 35%) whereas the variability of pH and N was low (CV < 15%). The nutrient index value (NIV) for N and S were low (1.0 and 1.5), medium for P (1.89) and high (2.86) for K. The generated nutrient status information can serve as an effective tool for farmers and policy makers in adoption of site specific nutrient management practices.
A survey was conducted to know available macro and secondary nutrient status of soils of Pathardi Tehsil of Ahmednagar District by GIS technique. 199 soil samples (0-22.5 cm) drawn during 2014 from the 70 villages were analyzed for their fertility status and mapped by geographic information system (GIS) technique. The exact locations of soil samples were recorded with the help of GPS. The results indicated that all samples were slightly alkaline to moderately alkaline in soil reaction (7.09-8.39), non-saline (0.11-0.58 dS m-1), low to moderately high in organic carbon (0.22-0.74 %) and Calcium Carbonates ranged from (5.75-13.0 %). Regarding to macro and secondary nutrients, the available N, P and K which ranged between (62.72.-338.68 kg ha-1), (3.31-19.64 kg ha-1) and (302.4-571.2 kg ha-1), respectively, whereas exchangeable Ca and Mg was sufficient in soils and available S is ranged between (8.4-20.4 mg kg-1) was slightly deficient to sufficient in soil. Introduction Soils are considered as the integral part of the landscape and their characteristics are largely governed by the landforms in which they are developed. Topographic maps, aerial photographs and remote sensing data provide useful tools for geomorphic analysis of the region and help in the soil survey and mapping (Pandey and Pofali, 1982) [12]. The growing population in the country is an acute problem that demands maximum possible output of food, fibre and fuel from each unit of cultivated land area per unit time. Soil test results of one farm need to have scope to be connected with the broader population of all farms in a given area. The ideal situation would be to sample every farm to get soil fertility status of all the farms, but we are not be able to sample each farm in the population, because it is too costly, troublesome and time consuming, especially with the multiple small farm holding in many developing countries. We thus, need to generalize results of sample farms to get information of entire area. Global Positing System and Geographical Information System are advanced tool for studying on site specific nutrient management which can be efficiently used for monitoring soil fertility changes. The geo-referenced nutrient status of soils in Pathardi Tehsil, Dist-Ahmednagar, would be useful for ensuring balanced fertilization to crops which demands the systematic study of macronutrients including assessment of macronutrient status of different soils with delineation of nutrient deficiency or sufficiency. Farmers can use GPS to locate the nutrient deficiencies and can manage the accurate distribution of fertilizer chemicals. Many would argue that GPS has found its greatest utility in the field of Geographic Information System (GIS) with some consideration for error.

Correlation of Physico-chemical Parameters of Soil and Soil Nutrient Index Status of Kollam District, Kerala, India2022 •
The present investigation was carried out at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences in the department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry lab, India In this study, a total of 27 soil samples were collected from nine different villages on 27 November 2021 in the Kollam district of Kerala, and from each village 3 soil samples were collected and analyzed for their Physico-chemical parameters by using standard laboratory techniques. According to Nutrient Index values, the villages were found to be high in Organic Carbon (2.59), Phosphorus (2.88), Calcium (3), and Magnesium (2.55). The low category was found in Nitrogen (1). The medium category was found in Potassium (1.88). According to the critical limits of soil nutrients the results observed, 100% soil samples were in low range of Nitrogen (N) (64.5-181.32 kg ha-1), 92.5% soil samples were in high range of Phosphorous (P) (9.40-56 kg ha-1), 89% soil samples were in low to medium range of Potassium (K) (100-403 kg ha-1), 100% of soil samples were in the high range of Calcium (Ca) (3.2-18 Meq/100g), 78% of soil samples were in high range of Magnesium (Mg) (0-7.60), 100% of soil samples were in the low range of Sulphur (S) (0.96-7.2). The results showed that improvement has to be one for improving soil fertility and quality by practicing improved cropping patterns, decomposition of organic wastes, mulching, and tillage practices.

Nutrient status and nutrient index of different land use system in Dharni tehsil of Melghat region in Maharashtra state2020 •
A detailed soil survey was carried out at tribal area in Dharni tahasil of Melghat region during the year 2017-2019. In present investigation data on natural resources such as soil fertility and present land use system aspect were generated studied and analyzed. The study covered whole tribal area to identified different landform units to understand the soil heterogeneity as well as the present land use. Twenty four (24) representative soil profiles were selected for sampling and analyzed for pH, Electrical conductivity, Organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium and available micro nutrient (Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu). The soils were neutral to moderately alkaline in nature and free from soluble salts hazards. Soils are medium in organic carbon. Nutritionally, soils in this high rainfall region showed lower content of available N and P and higher in available K, however, medium to higher in available micronutrient status viz. Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu. Nutrient index values showed that available N and P were in low category, OC, CaCO3, available Zn and Fe were moderately high, available Mn was in higher category, however, available K and Cu were very high in nutrient index values in Dharni Tahasil. Thus there is need of proper land use according to capability of land by identifying the constraints for the production of available land. In order to use the land resources optimally on sustainable basis and also adaptation of management practice for increasing the fertility of soil.
