“…These amino acids comprise almost 90% of the plant sulphur [35]. The availability of sulphur is influenced by a number of soil conditions, and as a result, the status of various forms of sulphur in soils varies greatly with the soil type [36].…”

Dimapur (Nagaland, India) is dominated by undifferentiated hillside slopes and alluvial plains. The Muga and Eri silk industries are important cultural and economic activities for the inhabitants of Dimapur. Profitable silk production requires adequate quality and quantity of healthy leaves and is highly dependent on the soil fertility of the region. Keeping this in view, the present study was carried out as a first attempt to prepare a geographic information system (GIS) map for Muga and Eri soils in Dimapur, Nagaland. A total 65 surface (0–15 cm) soil samples from Muga farms and 79 surface soil samples from Eri farms were collected and analysed for soil pH, organic carbon content and availability of macro- and micronutrients. Soils of both Muga and Eri farms were found to be extremely (<3.05) to moderately (5.09–6.84) acidic. Soils of Muga and Eri farms were found to have low to high organic carbon content (from 0.24 to 1.98%), low to high available nitrogen content (179.8–612.5 kg ha−1) and medium available phosphorus content (2.68–154.6 kg ha−1). The sulphur availability index was 0.26 and 11.81 for Muga and Eri host plant farms, respectively. The multi-macronutrient map revealed that 46.95% of the district’s total geographical area (TGA) showed deficiencies in one or more macronutrients (high priority zone). Thus, these regions need urgent attention in terms of nutrient management decisions in order to reduce the declining trend of soil fertility and achieve sustainable sericulture production.
