Abstract: The present study was conducted during the year 2015-17 at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Dr PDKV Akola, Maharashtra with aim to know the NIV value and micronutrient status of soils of Western part of the Central Research Station, Dr. PDKV Akola, Maharashtra. Grid based (GPS) seventy three surface (0-20 cm) soil samples by systematic survey were collected from three blocks and analyzed as per standard procedure for assessing chemical properties and available micronutrient status. The study revealed that the Western part of the CRS soils showed very low to moderately high iron content (1.66 to 10.63 mg kg-1). The available Mn content was low to medium, it ranged from 1.5 to 9.39 mg kg-1. These soils showed very low to medium available Zn content and it ranged from 0.21 to 1.18 mg kg-1. Available Cu in these soils was medium to high and it ranged from 0.26 to 4.26 mg kg-1.Considering soil nutrient index values the soils of CRS showed low NIV for available Zn and high NIV for available Fe, Cu and Mn. Further with increase in EC of soil, availability of Cu decreased, whereas, availability of Mn increased and as P and CaCO3 increased availability of Zn decreased.
