Relationship Between Some Major, Secondary and Micronutrient Status of Soils Growing Groundnut and Their Contents in Groundnut Plants

Available P, Ca, Mg, S and B contents of four soil groups (Alfisols, Inceptisols, Ultisols and Entisols) of Orissa growing groundnut show that these soils are deficient in Ca, Mg, S and B but adequately supplied with P. Available Ca and Mg show significant positive correlation with clay, clay plus silt, pH and organic carbon. Monocalcium phosphate extractable S and hot water soluble B contents of the soils are significantly and positively correlated with their concentration in groundnut plants.
