Abstract: The present investigation in relation to "Soil Characteristics and Leaf Nutritional Status in Declined Nagpur Mandarin Orchards in Morshi Tehsil of Amravati District”, was undertaken during 2017- 18. Twelve orchards from declined condition were selected on the basis of their yield performance and visual observations from five locations of Morshi tahsil viz., Nimbhi, Shirkhed, Ladki, Dapori and Chikhalsawangi were selected to evaluate the soil characteristics and leaf nutritional status and fruit quality of Nagpur mandarin. Twelve soil profile samples were taken from 0-30, 30-60 and 60-90 cm depth randomly selected over the field of Nagpur mandarin and collected leaf and fruit samples were analyzed for quality parameters. The leaf nutrient status of study area was found to be low in total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and in micronutrients. Fruits of declined Nagpur mandarin were found to be of average quality.
