Author(s): Lokesh Gupta, SC Meena, Amit Kumar and Mukesh Panchal

Abstract: A study was conducted to estimate the level of selected macro and micro-nutrients in the soils of ten tehsils of Banswara district of Rajasthan. Soil analysis indicated that major nutrients viz., phosphorous, potassium, calcium and magnesium were moderate in the soils of this district. In the same way iron and copper level in all the soils was adequate. Average zinc content of soils of Banswara district was found to be intermediate and was highest in soils of Kushalgarh. Higher mean manganese content was found in this district and was highest in the soils of Choti Sarvan. This study exhibited that the soils of Ganoda, Choti Sarvan and Abapura were deficient in sulphur contents. Fodders were found to contain adequate contain of Ca (>0.30%), Fe (50 ppm) and Co (0.10 ppm). Fodders were found to be deficient in phosphorous (except soybean). Content of magnesium (0.20 %) in all fodder were found adequate. Fodders were found to be deficient in zinc (except Soybean and Barseem straw) and deficient in manganese content (40ppm) (except soybean and barseem). Fodders were found to be deficient in copper (except lucerne and barseem).
