Study of soil was based on various parameter like pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC), available phosphorus ((P), available potassium (K2O). This study leads us on conclusion of the nutrients quantity of soil of Porbandar taluka district Porbandar. Result showed that average all the villages of Porbandar taluka have various parameter like EC, pH, OC, P and K this information will help farmers to decide the problems related to soil nutrients and amount of fertilizers to be added to soil to make soil productive.
