Abstract: Fifteen apple (Cv. Red Delicious) orchards of south, Kashmir with uniform age and vigour were selected and surveyed (simple random survey) for the purpose of collection of soil samples. The samples were processed and analyzed for different nutrients. In general the soils were medium in available nitrogen, medium to high in available phosphorus and high in available potassium with mean values of 354.0, 29.14 and 468.27 kg/ha, respectively in surface soils (0-25 cm) and mean values of 247.37, 24.97 and 419.85 kg/ha, respectively in sub-surface soils (25-75 cm). All the soils under investigation were high in available, calcium and magnesium showing average values of, 1993.0, 353.2 ppm and, 2017.0 and 365.3 ppm in surface and sub-soils, respectively. The soils were medium in sulpher content with surface and sub-surface sulpher content of 11.2 and 9.7 respectively.
