Assessment of Soil Fertility Status of Rayal Cheruvu Village in Ramachandrapuram Mandal of Tirupati District, Andhra Pradesh, India

One hundred soil samples from Rayal Cheruvu village in Ramachandrapuram mandal of Tirupati district, Andhra Pradesh were collected by using GPS to study soil fertility status. These samples were analysed for physico-chemical and chemical parameters. The results revealed that soils were slightly acidic to strongly alkaline in reaction and non-saline. Soil organic carbon was low to medium. The available nitrogen was low, the available phosphorus ranged from low to high and the available potassium ranged from medium to high. The fertility status was used to assess soil fertility constraints in the study area.
