The study area was conducted and analyzed the major and minor nutrient status of Ahemednagar district,Maharashtra.Atotal of 30 soil samples were collected at a depth of 0–20 cm and analyzed for soil pH, electrical conductivity , organiccarbon , available nitrogen (, phosphorus , potassium , Soils were neutral to slightly alkaline (pH 7.90 –8.50) and nonsaline (EC <1 dSm1).Calcium content from soil ranges 11.6- 28.49 meq% were observed. Organic carbon was low tomedium with a mean value of 0.52%.Among the nutrients,available Nitrogen was invariably low to moderate (100%) andPhosphorous (25.38kg/ha) and available Potassium was generally high with a mean of 531.68 kg ha
