Abstract: An area's evaluation of soil fertility is crucial for sustainable agricultural manufacturing. The macro nutrients direct soil fertility and regulate crop development and yield. Naugarh block in Chandauli district of Eastern Uttar Pradesh was chosen in the current inquiry and the status of accessible soil macronutrients and their connection to physicochemical characteristics were researched. The district of Chandauli has distinct crop systems and are irrigated by the Ganga Canal and the Bhakhra Canal. Five different villages were selected from the Naugarh block, several samples of surface soil (0-15 cm) were taken from each of the identified locations and the standard laboratory procedures were used for the analysis of physicochemical properties and also status of available nutrients such as N, P, K, S, Ca and Mg. Study results indicate that Naugarh block soils in organic carbon content are medium to high. Of the 52 samples collected, 100% of the samples were found to be low in available nitrogen status and found low to medium in available phosphorus, potassium and sulphur, but Ca and Mg were found to be adequate.
