Twenty soil samples were collected from various paddy fields of Imphal west district, Manipur to evaluate status and forms of zinc in the soils. All the soil samples were acidic in nature with mean value of pH . The mean electrical conductivity was dSm-1 and the mean organic carbon content was g kg-1 . The mean cation exchange capacity, available nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium were [cmol (p+ ) kg-1 ], kg ha-1 , kg ha-1 and kg ha-1 , respectively. The mean value of DTPA extractable zinc was mg kg-1 . The DTPA extractable zinc show positive and significant correlation with EC, OC, CEC, available nitrogen, available potassium, silt and clay. | Status and forms of zinc in acidic soils of Imphal West district, Manipur (India)
