Abstract:
This experiment target measuring soil properties (pH, EC and OC), nutrient (N, P, K and S) and the correlation study between soil properties and nutrient availability. Six different locations in Havalbag block, Almora district of Uttarakhand, were sampled for soil (0-15cm depth). Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium and Sulphur nutrient in soil were examined using known conventional methods. Available Nitrogen was examined by alkaline KMnO₄ method, extractable available Sulphur by CaCl₂ method, available Potassium and available phosphorus by Morgan method. The soil pH showed a positive and significant correlation with available Nitrogen. The OC and EC showed a positive correlation with available S for the entire area of study. After analyzing all nutrient indices, the soils under study were found to be high in extractable S and medium in P extractable K and low in and N.
