Aprioct (Prunus armeniaca L.) is the main fruit in Ladakh region. Soil nutrients play a vital role in the growth, development and yield of apricot tree and the information on the nutritional status of an area can go a long way in planning judicious fertilizers and soil management practices to develop economically viable alternatives for the orchardists. Twenty one orchards with uniform age and vigour were selected and surveyed (simple random survey) for the purpose of collection of soil and leaf samples in District Kargil. The soil samples were collected from the three different depths viz., 0-20 cm, 20-40 cm and 40-60 cm. | Mansoor Ali et alNutrient status of aprioct Prunus armeniaca L. orchards of district Kargil Ladakh India
