Geo-referenced soil samples were collected from different villages of different blocks of Puri district and analyzed for physico-chemical properties. Total 954 numbers of geo-referenced soil samples were collected and analyzed. The soils pH varied from 4.97 to 7.63, EC content (0.01 to 4.74dS m-1) and organic carbon content (2.70 to 14.80 g kg-1). Further, available nitrogen (108.00 to 388.00 kg N ha-1) and phosphorus content (1.24 to 69.85 kg P ha-1) ranges from low to medium but available potassium ranges from low to high (40.70 to 586.00 kg K ha-1). Available sulphur content ranges from very low to very high (3.18 to 150.00 mgkg-1). Available zinc content ranges from very low to very high (0.25 to 4.89 mg kg-1) and hot water extractable boron content ranges from 0.08 to 1.67 mgkg-1. The fertility database would be very useful for extension functionaries, agriculture officers, NGOs and scientists. Moreover, farmer’s for sustainable crop production in Puri district of coastal Odisha.
