Abstract: Soil’s yield capacity is depends on often complex and sometimes little understood interactions between the biological, chemical and physical properties of soil. Good farm practice aims to manage the various factors that make up each of these three properties to optimize the yields of crops in environmentally friendly ways. The purpose of the study is to identify the spatial distribution of pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC) and macro nutrient of the soil of the Pudukkottai districts along with fertility index of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium using Parker’s fertility index and its spatial distribution can be derived through ArcGIS software. The results of the study shows that there has been 100 per cent of the soil samples shows the low level of nitrogen, only 32 per cent of the soil samples is high in available phosphorous and only 7.5 per cent of the soil samples is high in available potassium. Soil fertility status of the Pudukkottai district shows that 100 per cent, 30 per cent and 73.5 per cent of the soil samples has low nitrogen fertility, phosphorous fertility and potassium fertility respectively.
