Abstract: Within a soil, nutrient variability exists depending upon the hydrological properties of the soil and cropping system. In the present study 53 soil samples were collected from 9 gram panchayats and were analysed. The soil samples were collected from Pearlmillet-Cumin cropping sequence. Analysis of soil samples revealed that 100 per cent soil samples were deficient in available nitrogen and organic matter content, while all samples were medium range in P and K, respectively. Among the micronutrients tested copper and manganese were in sufficient range while iron and zinc were deficient in soil.
