Agriculture, Horticulture, Forest and Pasture land use systems being the most predominant were selected from the Nandurbar district of Maharashtra State during the year 2019-20. Two sampling sites were selected under each land use system at different locations of the district. The soil samples were collected at a vertical interval of 20 cm from surface to the bedrock. The soils are slightly acidic to slightly alkaline in reaction and pH of soil increased with soil depth. The soils are non saline and did not show any significant trend with increase in depth of soil. The organic carbon content categorised as low to moderately high and it decrease with soil depth. Available Nitrogen content of soils is low in range. Available phosphorus content of soils is low to medium in range. Available Potassium content of soils is high in range. Available Sulphur content in the soils is medium to high.
