Abstract: Fifteen surface (0-20 cm) soil samples from the farmer’s field were collected from different selected sites of Panchkula district in the year 2017-2018. The soil samples were handled for laboratory analysis. Fractionation of zinc in soil samples was carried out with standard procedure. The results showed that the distribution of zinc in soils under paddy land use in Panchkula district. The exchangeable zinc fractions in these soils were in the range of 0.13 to 0.96 mg kg-1. Organic matter bound (OM-Zn), carbonate bound (CA-Zn), iron and aluminium oxides bound (Fe&MnOX-Zn) and residual (RES-Zn) zinc fractions were in the range of 0.81 to 3.17, 0.59 to 3.01, 7.95 to 13.35 and 32.82 to 57.17 mg kg-1, respectively. Among various fractions studied, exchangeable zinc was low in all the soils when compared to other fractions; still it is very important from the plant availability point of view. Residual form of zinc dominated when compared to exchangeable zinc, organic bound zinc, carbonate bound zinc and crystalline iron-manganese oxide bound zinc fractions. However, the order of preponderance of zinc fractions remained same viz., exchangeable zinc < organic zinc < carbonate zinc < crystalline iron and manganese oxide bound zinc < residual zinc in selected samples.
