Abstract
Two major issues, i.e. large crop productions and huge anthropogenic activities (e.g. fuel burning
and mineral roasting) disturb the micronutrient balance in the soil of India. In this work, the
available and total status of eight micronutrients i.e. Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Co, Ni, Mo, and S of the soils in
the most urbanized area: Raipur area, Chhattisgarh, India (extending over ≈ 2 × 104 km2) is described.
The available status of micronutrients i.e. Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Co, Ni, Mo and 2
4 SO − in the soils
(n = 100) was ranged from 30 - 8253, 205 - 2800, 2.0 - 8.1, 0.7 - 5.0, 2.2 - 31.2, 0.1 - 13.4, 0.1 - 8.9
and 41 - 747 mg/kg with mean value of (at 95% probability) 642 ± 186, 1178 ± 119, 4.3 ± 0.3, 2.3 ±
0.2, 12.8 ± 1.3, 3.9 ± 0.6, 1.5 ± 0.3 and 281 ± 25 mg/kg, respectively. The concentration variations,
deficiencies and toxicities of the micronutrients in the soil are discussed.
