Title: Identification of Major Soil Nutritional Constraints in Vertisol, Inceptisol and Entisol from Ambajogai Tahsil of Beed District
Abstract: The study was conducted on Vertisols, Inceptisols and Entisols located in Ambajogai tahsil of Beed district and the purpose to evaluate the major soil nutritional constrains for addressing fertility indices of soil. For this purpose 140 representative soil samples were collected at 0-20 cm depth from different villages of Ambajogai tahsil. These soil samples were analyzed for physico-chemical properties and status of available P, K, S, exchangeable Ca, and Mg. These soil samples were analyzed for soil properties and fertility status of soil. The soils under the study were neutral to alkaline in reaction, safe in limit of electrical conductivity and moderately calcareous to calcareous in nature. These soils were low to high in content of organic carbon. The soil samples were low in available N and P and high in available K. While, the exchangeable Ca and available S were in sufficient quantity, while exchangeable Mg ranged from low to high. However, the organic carbon showed positive and significant correlation with available N, P, K pH and CaCO3 showed negative. According to nutrient index value of the soils of Ambajogai tahsil were found in low category for available N and P, while high with respect to available K, S and exchangeable Ca, whereas medium for exchangeable Mg.
