Delineation of iron and manganese status in soils of central research station Akola

A study of delineation of Iron (Fe) and Manganese (Mn) status in soils of Central Research station, Akola was conducted during the 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 20 per cent deficient in iron and 7 per cent deficient in manganese. While the available micronutrient status of Central Research Station soils was found as iron 0.12 to 16.32 and manganese 0.32 to 16.78.
