Abstract

This Study was carried out on soil nutrient index and soil fertility of six tehsil of Beed district. The soils were alkaline in reaction and within the safer limits of electrical conductivity. These soils were calcareous in nature, low to medium in organic content and low in available N, P and DTPA-Zn. However, available K and DTPA-Fe, Mn and Cu content was respectively, high and medium to high in the soil.
