A soil survey was carried out on nutrient status and fertilizer requirements in soils of Central Zone of Uttar Pradesh. The pH value, EC, organic carbon and CaC0₃ ranged from 6.5 to 9.5, 0.04 to 1.0 dsnr⁻¹, 1.0 to 7.6 gkg⁻¹ and 3.6 to 33.7 gm kg⁻¹, respectively. Most of the soils were deficient in available nitrogen, phosphorus and medium to high in available potash. About 64.8% soils were rated below the critical limit in available sulphur. The soils of Bisalpur (Pilibhit), Jang Bahadurganj (Lakhimpur) and Mohmoodabad (Sitapur) zones required 135 q ha⁻¹ organic manure and 135 Kg ha⁻¹ N fertilizer + 60 Kg phosphate ha⁻¹ + 75 Kg sulphur ha⁻¹, while the soils of Majhola (Pilibhit), Rosa (Shahjahanpur), Chhata (Mathura), Tulsipur (Gonda) and Tilhar (Shahjahanpur), zones of Central U.P., needed 120 Kg ha⁻¹ organic manure + 120 Kg ha⁻¹ N fertilizer + 60 Kg phosphorus ha⁻¹ and 75 Kg sulphur ha⁻¹.
