In the present research work, studies on soil nutrient status assessed by carrying out nutrient analysis such as Nitrogen Phosphorus, Potassium and organic matter content in the soils. physical parameters such as pH and EC were also reported. In India most of the fodder growing area is with poor soils and lack of proper maintenance. Hence the present study focuses on to assess the soil nutrient status in fodder growing districts such as Madurai Pudukottai Tirunelveli and Nilgiris and Madurai areas of Tamilnadu. The soils are basic and nitrogen content is low in all the southern parts in least and lower level except Tirunelveli which recorded medium in Nitrogen content (121.27±14.05 kg/acre) and the phosphorus content is medium in all districts except Nilgiris which recorded higher level of phosphorus and the potassium content is medium in all districts except Tirunelveli. The nitrogen content is deficient in all the districts, Phosphrous and potassium content is ranges from medium to higher level in all the southern districts. The organic carbon content is also lower in all the districts of southern district except Nilgiris. Top dressing of nitrogenous fertilizer, application of well decomposed farm yard manure and application of phosphorus as a basal dose are the recommendations given to the farmers. Application of biofertilizer also helps to reduce the immobilization of nutrients which corrects the deficiency.
