Abstract

A study of delineation of Cu and Zn status in soil of Central Research station, Akola was conducted during year 2006 and 2007. detailed maps of micronutrient also prepared. Delineation of study area was completed with help of global positioning system and for predicting available cationic micronutrient status extraction with chelating agent such as di ethylene triamine penta acetic acid (DTPA) is used. The soils of Central Research Station were found 52 per cent deficient in zinc and 4 per cent deficient in copper. While the available micronutrient status of Central Research Station soils was found as zinc from 0.21 to 2.46 and copper 0.004 to 7.49.
