The twenty-seven soil samples were collected from nine different villages in December 2022 from Jhadol block, Udaipur, Rajasthan. The collected soil samples were analyzed for their physico-chemical parameters and presence of heavy metals by using standard laboratory techniques. The result showed that the soil of Jhadol block is clay loam in soil texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction, very low to low in soil organic carbon content, low to medium in nitrogen content, low to high in phosphorus content, low to high in potassium content, high amount of Ca and Mg, and in heavy metals; Zn content are in deficient range, Mn is in sufficient range, whereas Fe and Cu are in high levels in maximum portion of study area. Soil contains higher amount of iron oxides due to iron mines which is dangerous for crop production and it can be mitigate by cropping tolerant varieties. The deficient nutrient can be replenished to avoid the crop suffering from the deficiency and optimum utilization of nutrients. Integrated nutrient management can be adopted for sustainable soil fertility management as well as to achieve higher crop production.
