Abstract: To assess the spatial exchangeable nutrient status (Ca, Mg and Na), a soil survey was conducted at district Doda, J&K. Composite surface soil samples were collected randomly from different land use systems viz; Forest, Horticulture at a depth of (1 metre), Barren Lands and Agriculture at a depth of (0-15cm). The exchangeable calcium recorded was higher under barren lands (2.15-6.18 meq100g-1) followed by horticulture, forest and agriculture land uses. The exchangeable Magnesium of the soils under different land use systems recorded was higher under barren lands (0.57-1.75 meq100g-1) followed by horticulture, forest and agriculture land uses. The exchangeable sodium range recorded was higher under barren lands (15.69-97.56 mg Kg-1) followed by forest, horticulture and agriculture, respectively. Exchangeable calcium was low (<2.5 meq100g-1) in northern area of block Ghat. Calcium was medium (<2.5-5.0 meq100g-1) in major portions of the district. Exchangeable magnesium was low (<0.75 meq100g-1) in north-eastern areas of Ghat and major portions of Gandoh block towards northern and southern side. Magnesium was medium (0.75-1.50 meq100g-1) in major portions of the district. Exchangeable sodium was medium (50-100 mgKg-1) in major portions of district. Sodium was low (<50 mgKg-1) in Northern area of Bhaderwah block, respectively.
