| Abstract/Description: | Detailed soil survey of Selsura KVK research farm of Dr. P.D.K.V., Akola in Wardha district, Maharashtra was carried out using 1:6000 scale cadastral map. There were nine soil series and thirteen mapping units. The soils were very dark gray to very dark grayish brown in hue 10YR, calcareous and clayey but differed in depth and are classified under Entisols, Inceptisols and Vertisols. In general, pH (8.0-9.2) increased with depth whereas reverse trend was observed for organic carbon. Soils of Selsura-1 are prone to sodicity problems. DTPA-Zn and Fe were deficient in these soils but DPTA-Mn and Cu were optimum. The mapping units were grouped under II to IV land capability classes and 2 to 4 land irrigability classes. Except soils of . Selsura-7 series (very shallow), others are moderately or marginally suitable for one or more commonly growing rainfed kharif crops viz. cotton, sorghum, pigeonpea, soybean and groundnut. |
