Abstract

Gandhinagar is the capital city of Gujarat State. The paper deals with the estimation of nutrients in soil of different talukas of Gandhinagar district. This district has four talukas with 290 villages and 10 urban habitations in the district. For the study purpose, the entire district was divided into 05 sites. One site of each taluka was selected. Total 05 sampling sites were selected to collect samples. Soil samples were collected and analysed for their physico-chemical properties like pH, EC, % Organic Carbon, Chloride (Cl), Nitrogen (N), Total Alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium. pH showed alkaline soil. Parameters analysed in the soil of Gandhinagar district and they were recorded as per the standard, it became evident that, the soil of Gandhinagar district is fertile and suitable for the study purpose.
