Abstract

Summary: The study on the micronutrients level in the soil showed non-availability of some micronutrients such as Zn and Mn at lower pH and vice versa and non-availability of some micronutrients such as Cu at higher pH thus intern effecting the normal growth and development of the mulberry sapling, leading to imbalance micronutrient level. The study clearly correlates with the soil nutrient status especially phosphorus at low pH (5.0–5.5).
