An investigation was under taken to study the soil fertility status of major
nutrients, micronutrients and mapping in Ramasamudram-1 microwatershed of
Yadgir taluk and district of Karnataka, India during the year 2019. Total seventyfour
grid wise surface soil samples were collected at 320 m grid interval at 0-15
cm depth to assess the soil parameters (texture, pH, EC, OC, available P, K, S, Zn,
Cu, Fe, Mn and B) and prepare the soil fertility maps through GIS using Kriging
method. The results of the study indicated that, the texture of the soil varied
from loamy sand to sand clay loam in surface. Soil reaction varied from acidic to
neutral with non-saline in nature. The distribution of soil organic carbon (32%),
available phosphorous (56%) and potassium (47%) status was found to be medium
in most of the area of microwatershed. The available sulphur status was found to
be low (57%) in maximum area of the microwatershed. The available zinc status
was found to be sufficient (46%) in majority area of the microwatershed. The
available copper, iron and manganese status of the soils were sufficient (58%)
in entire area. Whereas available boron status was found to be low (57%) in
maximum area of the microwatershed. Therefore, the study showed that, the
soils of the microwatershed were medium in fertility status. There is need of
proper fertilizer recommendation and soil management practices can be made
productive thereby, increasing the crop yield.
