The ability of soil to function as a living ecosystem is referred to as soil health. supports plant and animal life while protecting the environment. It refers to how physical, chemical, and biological activity interact in the soil. Mineral matter, organic matter, water, and air are all critical components of soil health, and each contributes to plant growth. Soil health indicators include physical, chemical, and biological factors that help assess the soil's state. For optimal soil health, these indicators must be balanced. However, there are significant issues to address, such as decreased soil organic matter, declining soil fertility due to nutrient deficits, physical soil degradation, and chemical soil degradation caused by excessive chemical use. Practices for sustainable soil management are critical for addressing these concerns. Balanced fertilization, organic matter incorporation, crop rotation, cover cropping, Short Communication

The five locations viz., Fetri, Katol, Katol (RFRS), Wandali wagh and Hatla were selected for recording various observations and considering the different nutrient management practices viz. Organic, inorganic and integrated nutrient management. Fifteen soil profile samples were taken from 0-30, 30-60 and 60-90 cm depth randomly selected over the field of Nagpur mandarin. The results revealed that data of soil reaction indicating moderately alkaline in nature with no much variations in electrical conductivity of soil with the practices of various organic, inorganic and integrated nutrient management. The values of organic carbon found decreased with depth and the maximum values of organic carbon in soil was observed (9.2 g kg-1) with orchards treated w...

The experiment was framed in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with ten treatments consisting of various levels of Teak leaf litter combined with cow dung slurry and bio-decomposer which were replicated thrice. The highest Ambrette content was recorded in T7 with application of Teak leaf litter @ 5 t ha-1+ cow dung slurry @ 50% of Teak leaf litter + bio- decomposer (0.50%). T8 supplied with Teak leaf litter @ 5 t ha-1+ cow dung slurry @ 50% of Teak leaf litter recorded second highest place recording 0.48% Ambrette content. Application of @ 5 t ha-1 Teak leaf litter + cow dung slurry @ 50% of Teak leaf litter+ bio- decomposer recorded 10% increased Ambrette content over control.
