Abstract

An extensive knowledge of the soil temporal variability of micronutrients and how this variation affects the environments is imperative to a wide range of discipline within agricultural science for optimum crop production and eco system preservation. Attempt has been maid to examine the the soil temporal variability of micronutrients viz. cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, mercury, nickel, lead, zinc and SAR in pre-monsoon and post- monsoon seasons from March 2008 to September 2008 around kurkumbh industrial area. The concentration of some micronutrients is generally high in post monsoon season. The fertilizer
input rate and continuous discharging of industrial waste water on soil surface are causing nutrient imbalance.

Keywords: Soil micronutrients, Kurkumbh industrial area, Seasonal variation, SAR.
