| Abstract/Description: | A study was conducted to assess the soil fertility status of mid Himalayan region based on two hundred and fifty surface soil samples collected at a depth of 0-15 cm by using systematic sampling methodology using GPS points. The soils of this region were predominantly neutral in soil reaction with low soluble salts and high in organic carbon content. Soil fertility assessment of crop fields showed the soils of midHimalayan region are high in available K and P contents and relatively medium to low in available N content. Among the micronutrients tested, widespread deficiencies were recorded for available Cu (69.23ha), B(50.26ha), Zn (43.84ha) and Fe (42.01ha). The correlation studies between the soil properties and available nutrients showed that OC has significant and positive correlation with the availability of N, P, S, B and Mn indicating the compelling role of OC in the maintenance of balanced soil health. |
