Abstract:

Soil fertility mapping is the way of assessing soil nutrients on the basis of soil sample test results and preparing maps at required scale. The study tried to map the plant macro nutrients phosphorous, potassium, organic carbon and other soil fertility indicators (pH. EC, CEC) for Shashamane district, Ethiopia.
