ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to know the status of chemical properties and macronutrients from soils of Basmat tahsil in Hingoli district. For this purpose hundred soil samples were collected from twenty villages (five samples from each village) of Basmat tahsil. The data shows that all these soils were normal to alkaline in reaction, safe in EC, low to medium in organic carbon, and non-calcareous to calcareous in nature, considering soil nutrient index values these soils were “low” in available N and available P while “high” in respect of available K. The soils from Basmat tahsil were medium to high in exchangeable Ca, low in exchangeable Mg, seventy per cent soil samples were deficient in available S.
Key words :
Available N, P, K, S, Exchangeable Ca and Mg, Soil chemical properties.
