The present investigation in relation to “Assessment of physical properties and nutrient status of cotton growing soil in Amravati district.” was undertaken during 2020-21. Total 60 i.e. 30 Surface and 30 subsurface soil samples were collected and analysed for their physical properties and macronutrient status in soil. The results revealed that, the soils under study were clayey in texture, bulk density of surface soil ranged from 1.12-1.45 Mg m^-3 and sub-surface soil ranged from 1.28-1.48 Mg m-3. The hydraulic conductivity of surface and sub-surface soil ranges from 0.71-0.98 cm hr^-1 and 0.66-0.97 cm hr^-1 respectively. The soil of Dhamangaon and Chandur block were very low to low in category (113.00-235.00 kg ha^-1) and (106.52-223.25 kg ha^-1) respectively, for available nitrogen, low to moderately high for phosphorus (13.47-25.10) for Dhamangaon block and medium to moderately high for Chandur block (17.55-22.22). Whereas, soil of Dhamangaon block were high to very high (205.00-400.00) for available potassium and Chandur block were moderately high to very high (280.00-406.00), respectively. The soils of Dhamangaon block were medium to high in available sulphur (11.77-20.10 mg kg^-1) and Chandur block were low to moderately high (9.89-18.32 mg kg^-1).
