Description Understanding the spatial variability in soil fertility is crucial for effective site-specific nutrient management. A soil survey was conducted across 95 villages in the Guhla block of the Kaithal district to create an inventory of soil fertility. Total 190 samples were collected using GPS and analysed for their chemical properties and maps were prepared using GIS. The results revealed that the soils were neutral to alkaline in nature, non-saline, low to high in OC and their soil texture was sandy loam, loam and loamy sand. Bulk density ranged from 1.43-1.59 Mg m-3 with a mean value of 1.51 Mg m-3. Most of the soil samples were found to be deficient in N, with only 7 sample were found under medium category, however for available P, 31 samples were low, 140 medium, and 19 high. While for available K, 12 samples were low, 139 medium, and 39 high. Most of the samples were high for available S (92%). The nutrient index for available nitrogen was low. The nutrient indices for organic carbon, P and K were medium, while the nutrient index for S was high. The DTPA extractable Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn content in soil ranged from 0.28-5.98, 0.9-18.40, 0.16-2.98 and 1.10-7 mg kg-1, with mean value of 1.96, 7.66, 1.23 and 3.45 mg kg-1, respectively.
