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
