Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
A Survey was carried out to study available nutrient status of grape orchard soils Kashmir. Fifteen orchards with uniform age and vigour were selected and surveyed (simple random survey) for the purpose of collection of soil samples. The samples were processed and analyzed for different nutrients. In general the soils were medium in available nitrogen and phosphorus with mean values of 161.0 and 11.7 ppm, respectively in surface soils (0-30 cm) and mean values of 82.2 and 8.9 ppm, respectively in sub-surface soils (30-90 cm). All the soils under investigation were high in available potassium, calcium and magnesium showing average values of 133.1, 1854.3, 282.2 ppm and 112.5, 1872.1 and 254.3 ppm in surface and sub-soils, respectively. The mean available iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron and molybdenum content of surface soils was 33.84, 35.14, 1.32, 1.62, 0.58 and 0.22 ppm, respectively and in sub-surface soils of 32.08, 33.42, 1.20, 1.39, 0.48 and 0.14 ppm, respectively. Further it was observed that majority of soils were high in available iron, manganese and zinc and medium in available copper, boron and molybdenum content.
