ABSTRACT
The present study was aimed at evaluating the micronutrients status guava orchards of Ajmer, Jaipur and Sawai Madhopur districts of Rajasthan. Soil samples were collected from 0-30, 30-60, 60-90 and 90-120 cm soil depths. The pH of orchard soils ranged from 7.30 to 8.60. The soils of Sawai Madhopur district showed relatively higher pH than the soils of other districts. The electrical conductivity of all the orchard of all the orchard soil samples were recorded 0.14 to 0.63 dsm-1 and organic carbon content of orchards soils varied between 0.20 to 4.89 g kg-1. The DTPA Fe and Zn status of semi- arid region soils was found deficient to marginal whereas manganese and copper content was found in higher values.
