Abstract


The distribution and mobility of macronutrients were studied in five soil profiles from virgin, cultivated and lime applied equivalent to normal, 3 and 5 times of time. requirement from a red loam sail of Ranchi. Lime application increased the orga nic carbon, CEC, total N as well as Ca saturation of soil while decreased the Mg saturation. The mobility of Mg was slightly more than Ca. Content of total P was not affected by liming but had pronounced effects on available P. Limed series. had higher total S than unlimed ones and was positively correlated with organic carbon (r=0.752). Available S showed negative correlation with soil pH (r=0.503**).
