Abstract:
An attempt has been made to investigate the availability of micronutrients and macronutrients in soil samples collected from selected places (Gir Somnath, Junagadh, Amreli, forest region and Diu, Dwarka, Jamnagar, Narara Island) of Saurashtra region, Gujarat. Soil samples were analyzed to the occurrence of available macronutrient (Organic Carbon, Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorus, Sulfur) and micronutrients (Iron, Zinc, Copper, Manganese) along with Electrical Conductivity (EC) and pH. Study of the correlation among macro and micronutrients was done. This correlation analysis found the Electrical conductivity and Sulfur showed a strong positive relationship (r= 0.878). Phosphorus and potassium show a strong relationship with each other (r= 0.759). Organic carbon is positively correlated with Phosphorus (r= 0.466), Sulfur (r= 0.448), Potassium (r= 0.391) and Copper (r= 0.018).
