ABSTRACT
Abstract: - The study of the macro and micronutrient status of soil of Pravaranagar area, District Ahmednagar was undertaken at 15 different locations to know their quantity and relationship with pH. soil samples were collected at 0-15 cm depth and used for determination of pH, Phosphorus (PO4), Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Chloride (Cl) and micronutrient like Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu). It was observed that all soils were alkaline in nature. PO4-, Mn, Zn, Cl, Cu and Na and K had shown no significant relationship with pH while, only Fe had shown significant relationship with pH. This indicates that pH has influence on nutrient status of soil. However, it was observed that all nutrients were available in sufficient amount for Plant and other organism growth in Pravaranagar area.
