Abstract

Present study was carried out during 2021-2022. 57 soil samples were collected from different agriculture lands of Panegaon village, Newasa Tahasil, Dist. Ahmednagar (Maharashtra) for the present study. Total area of the village is 635 hectares. The area under agriculture is 576 hectares. Total 57 soil samples were taken randomly. The parameters such as available major nutrients like nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, available micronutrients like zinc, ferrous, copper, manganese, and Percent organic carbon, microbial population were analyzed. Total 57 samples were analyzed for present investigation. On the basis of results obtained, it was recorded that, available nitrogen and phosphates were found lower; while available potassium was found very high. Soils for micronutrients were deficient in Ferrous (100%) followed by zinc (8.77%) while there was no deficiency of manganese and copper were recorded. The mean of percent organic carbon was recorded (0.3%) and microbial population were recorded 300000no. colonies per gm soil. Overall decrease in organic carbon and microbial population resulted in decrease in availability of nutrient in soil of the village panegaon.
