Abstract:
An assessment on fertility status was carried out on the soils of Duglapura-1 micro watershed during year 2020-21. Sixty one surface soil samples (0-15 cm) were collected at 320 m X 320 m grid intervals for its fertility status and mapped using ArcGIS software. The soils were low in available nitrogen content (74.86%). Available phosphorus was medium (72.39%). The micro-watershed was medium (72.10%) to high (2.76%) in available potassium and medium (11.88%) to high (62.98%) in available sulphur status. Secondary micro-nutrients viz., calcium and magnesium were sufficient in the entire micro-watershed area. Micronutrients viz., Fe, Cu and Mn were sufficient, whereas Zn was deficient (16.22%) in the Duglapura-1 micro watershed area.
