ABSTRACT
The present study was aimed at evaluating the fertility status of kinnow orchards at Jamsar and Lunkaransar series of Bikaner district in irrigated area of arid Rajasthan. All kinnow orchards soils were found alkaline to saline in nature, EC2 of all the orchard soil samples was normal. The calcium carbonate content in soils showed increasing trend with depth, low in organic carbon and available N, Low to medium in available P2O5, Medium to high in available K2O content, Majority of samples were found low in available Fe and Zn content, low to sufficient in available Cu and high in available Mn content. Leaf N content were found low in kinnow orchards, majority of leaf samples found optimum in leaf P, Fe, and Mn content, whereas leaf K content were found low in kinnow orchards. The leaf Cu and Zn content were found low to optimum range in kinnow orchards soils at Jamsar and Lunkaransar series of Bikaner district.
