Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Main Sugarcane Research Station Farm of Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. Four treatment of insecticides viz. T0 Control, T1 Phorate 10G (1.5 kg a.i./ha), T2 Carbofuran 3G (1 kg a.i./ha), T3Chlorantraniliprole 0.4G (0.1 kg a.i./ha) were taken and applied at 60 days after planting. The soil samples were periodically collected at 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60 days after application of insecticides and at the time of harvest. The application of insecticides didn’t produce any significant effect on periodic soil pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon and K2O content of soil. The available nitrogen was significantly higher in treatment of phorate and remained statistically at par with treatment of carbofuran and chlorantraniliprole. In case of days after application, available N was significantly higher at 60 days after application but remained statistically at par with available N content at 30 days after application of insecticides. The soil applied insecticides didn’t exert any significant effect on available P2O5 content in soil. The available P2O5 content was found significantly higher in the soil at 3 days and 30 days after application of insecticide but remained statistically at par with P2O5 content at 5 days and 60 days after application of insecticides.
