Abstract

A study was conducted in the Malpura block of Tonk district, Rajasthan, during 2021-2022 to assess the soil fertility status. To ascertain 60 soil samples were collected from 6 different villages Lawa (V1), Borkhandi (V2), Kadila (V3), Jankipura (V4), Diggi (V5), and Nukkad (V6),  at a depth of 0-15 cm. Collected soil samples were examined for various physico-chemical parameters which includes BD, PD, WHC, Porosity, pH, EC, OC, also macro nutrient like N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S by using standard analytical methods. Results showed that the soil was neutral to alkaline in pH (6.8 to 8.8), low in organic carbon (0.2 to 0.88%) and available sulfur (6.92 to 19.08 mg kg-1). The nitrogen content in the soil, ranging from 143.2 to 356.84 kg ha-1, was deemed insufficient. On the other hand, the levels of calcium and manganese were identified as ranging from medium to high in the soil sample.
