Abstract:

The present research work was carried out during the year 2012-13 to study the micronutrient availability in soils from Washi Tahsil of Osmanabad district. For this purpose 180 representative soil samples were collected from 30 villages of Washi tahsil. Collected soil samples were categorized into different soil orders. From each village 2 soil samples of Vertisol (> 30 cm), Inceptisol (10-30 cm) and Entisol (0-10 cm) were collected. These soil samples were analysed for micronutrient properties.

Result indicated that, the soils were sufficient in available Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and B which ranged between (0.48- 7.20 mg kg^-¹), (1.06- 13.98 mg kg^-¹), (0.10- 1.65 mg kg^-¹), (0.26- 9.17 mg kg^-¹) and (0.03-1.18mg kg^-1), respectively, whereas the soils of Washi tahsil was low to medium in DTPA-Fe and Zn content. DTPA-Mn, Cu and HWS-B content in these soils was moderate to high.
