STUDIES ON SOIL NUTRIENT STATUS IN RELATION TO YIELD ATTRIBUTES OF SWEET ORANGE (Citrus sinensis L.) CV. NUCELLAR
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 54
Abstract
An experiment was carried out at College of Agriculture, Latur, M.S. India during summer and kharif season of 2014-2015 to study the nutrient status of soils of sweet orange orchards of Jalna district. In order to know the soil nutrient status, ten sweet orange orchards located in ten different talukas of Jalna district were randomly selected. Soil samples were collected in May 2014 at a depth of 0-30 cm, 30-60 cm and 60-90 cm. Soil samples were analysed to find out soil nutrient status. Results showed that all the soils samples were neutral to alkaline in reaction (pH). All soil samples were in safe limit for electrical conductivity (EC). All soils samples were low to medium in organic carbon content (OC), nitrogen content (N), available phosphorus (P), sulphur content (S) and Manganese content (Mn).All soils samples were high in calcium content (Ca), available magnesium content (Mg). The soils were sufficient in available copper content (Cu). Results also showed that the fruit yield had significant and positive correlation with soil OC, N, P, K and Cu.
