ABSTRACT

The surface soil samples representing six tehsils were collected from Palghar district during 2015-16.  The available molybdenum content in soil varied from 0.01 to 0.65 mg Kg-1 with nutrient index value was found 1.93.  In Palghar district 30 percent soil samples were deficient in available molybdenum. However, positive significant correlation between available molybdenum with pH (r=+0.714**) whereas, significantly negative correlation with organic carbon content (r= -0.815**) was observed.
