A survey was conducted during 2011-12 covering litchi orchards of U. S. Nagar, Nainital, Champawat, Dehradun and Haridwar districts in Uttarakhand where litchi extensively grown. Surface (0-22.5 cm) soil samples (n=145) were collected and analyzed for soil properties and extractable soil nutrients. The contents of alkaline KMnO4 hydrolysable N, Olsen's P and Neutral 1N ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) K in soils ranged from 134.8 to 376.3, 10.9 to 123.6 and 34.7-285.6 kg ha?1, respectively. The DTPA extractable Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in soils ranged from 5.55 to 171.2, 2.38 to 87.4, 0.20 to 14.9 mg kg-1 and 0.33 to 4.24 mg kg-1, respectively. Hot water soluble B and ammonium oxalate (pH 3.3) extractable Mo in soils ranged from 0.31 to 3.45 and 0.30 to 0.58 mg kg-1 respectively. As per the values of nutrient indices, the soils of litchi orchards of U.S.Nagar district, were low in N and K, medium in S and Zn but high in P, Fe, Mn, Cu, B and Mo, and of Nainital district, were low in N, K and S and high in P, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, B and Mo, of Champawat district, were low in N, K and S and medium in Zn but high in P, Fe, Mn, Cu, B and Mo fell and of Haridwar and Dehradun districts were low in N, K and medium in S but high in P and micronutrients Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, B and Mo. The relationship between soil properties, extractable soil nutrients and fruit yield per tree was also studied.
