Abstract: A Survey was carried out in 83 grape orchards to assess the available secondary and micro nutrient status in soils of Bagalkot and Jamakhandi taluka during 2015-16. Three different grape orchards namely table purpose white, table purpose coloured and wine grape types. During February-march surface soil samples were collected after the harvest of the crop. The samples were processed and analyzed for available secondary and micro nutrients. Among different grape soils, wine grape orchards recorded significantly higher available calcium compared to white and coloured table grape soils. Contrastingly, the available magnesium contents were found significantly higher in table grape orchards compared to wine grape types. Distribution of available-S in three different grape orchards was found in medium to higher availability ranges. In grape orchard soils micronutrients were found in the order Mn > Zn > Cu > Fe. DTPA Mn and Zn were in higher range in majority of soil samples while, DTPA – Cu and Fe were observed in both medium and higher ranges. Thus, nutrient management practices had influenced the availability of secondary and micronutrients.
