Available micronutrient cation status of red soils in Wardha region, India

Abstract

A study of red soil from different localities of Wardha region was carried out. Micronutrients or minor elements are required in very small quantities usually less than a pound per acre per year. Most micronutrient deficiencies are not widespread about once they occur they result in plant abnormalities, reduce growth or crop failure. Toxicities can also occur since several of these elements have rather narrow range between deficiency and toxicity levels. Once harmful level have been established the problem is more difficult to correct than a deficiency. The importance of micronutrients cation viz. Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe to agriculture well recognized but the information in the major soil groups of wardha region .Such information would be useful in ascertaining the current deficiencies / sufficiency of micronutrients. Available micronutrients such as Zn ,Cu ,Mn and Fe was determined by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS).The results reveals that in red soils, iron and manganese content is very high copper content is found to be sufficient and zinc content is very less.
