Abstract

Two hundred and one GPS based surface soil samples from soil depth of 0–15 cm were collected from all eight blocks of Kannauj district, Uttar Pradesh during October and November 2010 covering a distance of 5 km between two sampling sites. The collected soil samples were analyzed for available S, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn and B. The analytical results showed that the deficiencies of these nutrients were in the order of Zn 25.37%, S 22.89%, B 12.44%, Fe 12.43, Cu 10.44 and Mn 8.46% in the soil samples of district Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh. Considering critical nutrient index as 1.5, none of the analyzed nutrients comes in low category.
