Horizon-wise soil samples (9 profiles) from Osmanabad, Latur, Beed (Drought prone zone) and Nanded, Parbhani (assured rainfall zone) from Marathwada region were collected and analyzed. The sand, silt and clay content ranged from 10.20 to 34.30, 17.90 to 32.20 and 43.70 to 59.30% respectively. The soils were slightly to moderately alkaline in reaction. The saturated hydraulic conductivity (sHC) ranged from 0.20 to 5.30 cm hr1 and CEC of soils varied from 33.30 to 67.10 cmol (p+) kg-1. Majority of surface and sub-surface layers had relatively higher soil organic carbon than underlying ones. The available N, P and K content ranged from 37.60 to 334.80, 1.0 to 27.10 and 224.90 to 583.80 kg ha-1 in soils, respectively. The DTPA-Zn found deficient in all the soils.
