Abstract: From assessing the fertility status of soil, 20 soil samples were collected from different location of district Dargai area and analyzed in the laboratory of Soil and Environmental Sciences Department, the University of Agriculture-Peshawar. The soil samples were found medium in texture. Almost all soils have alkaline PH, and from moderately to strongly calcareous. The organic matter content was in the range of marginal and deficient. AB-DTPA extractable P was deficient in 11 soil samples, while adequate in 3 soil samples and marginal in 4 soil samples. The K content is deficient in 13 soil samples while 7 soil samples were marginal.
