Soil Fertility Status of Vegetables Growing Area of Varanasi and Pulses Growing Area of Mirzapur

摘要

Soil fertility plays an important role in sustaining crop productivity of an area, particularly in situations where input of nutrients application differs and the information on the nutritional status can go a long way to develop economically viable alternatives for management of deficient nutrients in the soil. Deficiencies of available major and micronutrients are widespread in soils of Varanasi and Mirzapur districts of eastern Uttar pradesh (Agarwal et al. 2002; Tiwari et al 2003a).
