Mapping spatial variability of soil properties is the key to efficient soil resource management for sustainable crop yield. Therefore, the present study was conducted to assess the spatial variability of soil properties such as acidity (pH), salinity (electrical conductivity (EC)), organic carbon, available K, available P, exchangeable Ca 2C , exchangeable Mg 2C , available S and hot water soluble B in surface (0– 20 cm) and subsurface (20–40 cm) soil layers of oil palm plantations in south Goa district of Goa located in west coastal area of India. A total of 128 soil samples were collected from 64 oil palm plantations of Goa located at an approximate interval of 1–2 km and analyzed. Soil was acidic to neutral in reaction. Other soil properties varied widely in both the soil layers. Correlations between soil pH and exchangeable Ca 2C , between soil EC and available K, between available P and available S and between exchangeable Ca 2C and exchangeable Mg 2C in both the soil layers were found to be positive and significant (P Not Available |
