This effort was made to evaluate the availability of P and K status of soils in taluka, Matli, district Badin was carried out during the year 2005. Sixty soil samples were collected from different profiles at 0-15, 15-30 and 30-45cm depths. These were analyzed for macro-nutrients (P and K) along with some physical and chemical determinations.
