Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics and nutrient availability of soil at various depths, i.e., 0-15cm, 15-30cm, and 30-45cm, from different blocks in the Komaram Bheem Asifabad district of Telangana. Results revealed that soil is moderately alkaline and slightly saline electrical conductivity. Low to medium organic carbon content and macronutrients viz. nitrogen and phosphorus are low to medium and medium to high potassium. Secondary nutrients i.e., calcium and magnesium are quite adequate. Micronutrients such as zinc, copper and Iron are found in permissible amount.
