Representative soil samples were collected for the chemical analysis in the laboratory, from the agricultural fields of different locations in villages of Tirora Tehsil. Chemical analysis of total 20 samples is done in order to gather information about soil nutrients and quality, so as to set the target of nutrient application in the soil of that particular area. The collected samples were analysed for various major morphological and chemical soil quality parameters like pH, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), Electrical Conductivity (EC), CaCO3 %, Organic Carbon, Available Nitrogen (N), available Potassium (K2O), Exchangeable Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium. The present investigation is focused on experimental analysis of nutrients in soil samples with reference to agricultural land in different villages of Tirora, Maharashtra in Central India. The interpretation of the analytical data gives information that will help farmers to deal with the problems related to soil nutrient management and use of smart agricultural practices to increase the agricultural productivity.
