ABSTRACT
A study was conducted Rasoolpur village of Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh of India. 70 Sample were collected from study area in which 50 sample from level land and 20 sample from slopy land for evaluating physical properties bulk density, particle density and porosity, and chemical properties pH, EC, Organic carbon, DTPA extractable micronutrient Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu with value. It can be concluded that, the soils were neutral to slight alkaline in reaction. All soils were observed low in organic carbon. DTPA extractable Fe and Mn was found high, while DTPA extractable Zn and Cu were in medium category. Soils of slopy land were lower in fertility, compared to level agriculture land soils due to soil erosion and low nutrient retention capacity. It is suggested that farmer should follow soil test based fertilizer recommendation to get higher yield. Construction of bunds across the slop, use of erosion resisting crop and cover crop should be practiced to minimize adverse effect of slope in slopy land soils.
Key words :
DTPA extractable, Micronutrient status, Sevai river, Soil fertility.
