An investigation was carried out to analyze the general soil properties and extractable macro- (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S) and micro-nutrients (Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, B, Mo) in the soils of Haridwar district and the relationships between general soil properties and soil extractable nutrients. Surface (0-15 cm) soil samples (n=300) were taken from the all six developmental blocks of Haridwar district. The ranges for general properties were: sandy loam to sandy clay loam texture, 5.18-8.31 soil pH and 0.074-0.731 dSm-1 electrical conductivity (EC) (1:2 soil-water suspension) and 1.49-9.84 g kg-1 soil organic carbon content. The amount of alkaline KMnO4 extractable N in these soils ranged from 105.0-290.05 kg ha-1 while Olsen’s or Bray’s extractable P content ranged from 5.88-67.42 kg ha-1. Neutral 1 N ammonium acetate extractable K, Ca and Mg varied from 89.6-548.8 kg ha-1, 1102 - 4359 mg kg-1 soil and 30-1002 mg kg-1 soil, respectively. Calcium chloride (0.15 percent) extractable S ranged from 5.3-29.4 mg kg-1 soil. The contents of DTPA extractable Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn were 0.13-9.14 mg kg-1 soil, 0.01-1.8 mg kg-1 soil, 1.26-61.77 mg kg-1 soil and 0.66-41.87 mg kg-1 soil, respectively. Hot water-soluble B ranged from 0.31-1.19 mg kg-1 soil and ammonium oxalate (pH 3.3) extractable Mo varied from 0.25-1.59 mg kg-1 soil. The nutrient index (N.I.) computed for different extractable soil nutrients for the entire district of Haridwar showed that the overall the district was low in N, medium in K S, Zn and high in all other nutrients (P, Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe, Mn, B and Mo).
