To study the micronutrient status in soils of Rae Bareli districts in Uttar Pradesh and their relationship with different physicochemical properties of soils. The soil samples collected from different tehsils of Rae Bareli district in Uttar Pradesh. The results indicated that all the tehsils showed the variation in pH being from 6.8 to 9.4, electrical conductivity ranged from 0.04 to 0.39 dSm-1, organic carbon ranged from 0.11 to 0.77 per cent and calcium carbonate ranged from 1.0 to 3.0 g kg-1. The available zinc content was between 0.3 to 4.3 mg kg-1. DTPA-Zn was significantly negative correlated with pH but non-significantly negative correlation show between Zn and salt concentration. Increasing organic carbon content in soils enhanced the availability of zinc as indicated by significant positive correlation. Increasing CaCO3 content in soils decreased the availability of zinc.
