The article presents an overview of impact of seasonal variation on soil nutrient quality at Agriculture Technical School, Manjri Farm, Pune, Maharashtra, India during year 2018-2019. Total 94 surface soil samples (0-22.5 cm depth) were collected in pre-monsoon (April-2018) and post-monsoon (October-2018) season.The chemical parameter viz., pH, EC, organic carbon, calcium carbonate, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and DTPA extractable micronutrients iron, manganese, zinc and copper, were 7.52, 0.36 dSm-1, 0.68, 5.90 per cent, 216.71, 11.56, 363.0 kg ha-1, 9.34 mg kg-1 and 0.98, 8.43, 3.47 and 5.60 mg kg-1, respectively in pre-monsoon season. In post-monsoon, the pH, EC, organic carbon, calcium carbonate, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and DTPA extractable micronutrients iron, manganese, zinc and copper, were 7.58, 0.40 dSm-1, 0.72, 5.38 per cent, 205.80, 10.70, 358.25 kg ha-1, 10.20 mg kg-1 and 1.01, 8.45, 3.39 and 5.82 mg kg-1, respectively.The soil chemical properties pH, EC, organic carbon, available sulphur, iron, manganese and copper were high in post-monsoon season while calcium carbonate available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and zinc were high in pre-monsoon season.
