Abstract
A nutritional survey of Nagpur mandarin orchard in Jhalawar district was conducted during January to June, 2009. A total of 18 representative orchards were surveyed in the district.
The study included analysis of soil profile with respect to micro nutrients.
The available Fe content ranged between 0.13 to 41.28 mg.kg-1; the available manganese within 9.91 to 85.56 mg.kg-1; available copper within 1.35 to 6.66 mg.kg-1 and available zinc content varied between 0.05 to 3.51 mg.kg-1. Mn content was found between optimum to excess.
Zn content varied from optimum to excess while copper and iron content was found between low to optimum range in mandarin orchard soils of Jhalawar district.
