| Abstract: | Thirty-six surface soil samples were collected from coffee and cardamom growing areas in Kodagu district, Karnataka to assess the nutrient status.The results revealed that the soil were acidic in reaction (pH 4.2 to 6.9) with high organic carbon content (0.79 to 3.3%). The available phosphorus was found to be low due to acidic pH that results in formation of aluminium and iron phosphate which are not likely to be readily available to plants. The soils were rich in potassium (84 to 966 kg/ha־ˡ ) and adequate in micronutrients due to the increased solubility in acidic environment and greater recycling by vegetation |
