Abstract


The red soil areas of Dharmapuri district belonging to the order Entisol and Alfisol were studied for the availability of cationic micronutrients viz., iron, manganese, zinc and copper and their correlation with other important soil properties. The study area showed sufficiency of iron and manganese. The deficiency of zinc was observed in some pockets of Vannapatti and Thoppur soil series. Occurrence of copper deficiency was wide spread in rainfed area irrespective of different soil series.
