Nashik district being one of the highest producers of grapes in Maharashtra constitutes the most probable area therefore, the analysis of Grape Growing Soils from Nashik district is useful as a model to understand the scenario of contamination of the soil due to pesticides as well as the fertility status of the vineyard soil samples collected.Pesticide residues were determined in soils collected from different villages of leading grape growing areas of Nashik District.An analytical multiresidue method used for the simultaneous determination of various classes of pesticides in soil was done by using LCMS,GCMS instruments.Pesticides were extracted from soil by liqud -liquid extraction.The present study generates the data on the pesticides residue levels in vineyard soils of Nashik district,which will be highly useful to create awareness among the farmers about pesticide use practices and handling.The results of soil physicochemical analysis were compared with standard rating table from literature.soil health card for each soil sample was given to each farmer that may help to add deficient nutrients to the soils for the correct balance to obtain high quality grapes with high yield.
