A total of 236 composite soil samples were collected at 0-30 cm depths from four the eighteen villages of Mayurbhanj district, Odisha. The soils were analysed properly for basic soil physical parameters viz., pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and soil organic carbon (SOC) and micronutrients viz. Zinc (Zn), Boron (B), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn) and Copper (Cu). The results revealed that the soils under the study were moderate to slightly acidic in reaction, safe in limit of EC and medium to high in SOC content. The micronutrient status and their relationship with soil properties were also studied. Among the micronutrients, Zn was found to be sufficient in 30% cases, medium in 55% and deficient in 15%, whereas, B and Mn were found to be sufficient in all the soil samples. DTPA-Fe and Cu in 81 and 89% are sufficient range, respectively.
