Abstract
In regions such as Pauni tehsil in Bhandara district of Maharashtra,
agriculture forms the backbone of local livelihoods, making soil quality
assessment vital. The physical and chemical characteristics of soil govern its
fertility, crop yield potential, and long-term sustainability. Over time,
continuous cultivation, improper fertilization, and environmental changes
degrade soil nutrient balance. This study aims to evaluate the status of
key macronutrients - nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) alongside
other physico-chemical parameters, to understand soil health in the region.
Such data is crucial for designing better land-use policies, nutrient
management strategies, and for initiating future soil restoration and
conservation programs. A total of 26 agricultural soil samples were collected
during the year 2024. The findings provide insights into the current nutrient
status of the region’s soil and offer a foundation for sustainable agricultural
practices. The study emphasizes the importance of soil health monitoring in
effective land management, restoration, and conservation efforts.
