Depth vise distribution of different forms of potassium and sulphur in soils of Chilkahar block of Ballia district was analysed by collection of depth-wise soil samples from two different villages (Kureji and Palta) by use of standard method. Soil samples from both villages expess that soil pH ranges from 6.2-7.4, EC 1.001-1.004 dSm-1, organic carbon 0.03-0.40 % and by use of different extractants for available K and S viz. NH4OAc extractable-K 169.2 - 347.2 kg ha-1, 0.01 M CaCl2.2H2O extractable-K 78.2 -152.6 kg ha-1, EDTA extractable-K 66.8 -116.6 kg ha-1, water soluble-K 160.2-214.0 kg ha-1, HNO3 extractable-K 186.0 - 288.0 kg ha-1, Mehlich III extractable-K 65.2 -128.0 kg ha-1, and 1 M NaCl extractable-K 95.0 -160.0 kg ha-1, and amount of CaCl2 extractable-S was 5.0-6.3 mg kg-1, NaHCO3 extractable-S 4.8-5.2 mg kg-1, KCl extractable-S 4.0 - 5.2 mg kg-1, HCl extractable-S 2.3- 3.0 mg kg-1, Morgan’s reagent extractable-S was 6.0- 6.8 mg kg-1 respectively
