A pot experiment was conducted during 2011 in a net house at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University to studies on impact of zinc fertilization on available nutrient zinc deficient soil. The result of experiment revealed that available nutrients increased with zinc levels at all stages of crop growth. Nutrient content decreased while nutrient uptake increased with advancement of rice crop. The available nutrients was highest at 7.5 mg Zn kg-1 . However the response of nutrient content and uptake in rice crop was higher in Entisol than Vertisol Availability of nutrients in soil (N, P, K and Zn) differed significantly on addition of zinc at all stages of crop growth. The highest availability of N, P and K was with 5.0 mg Zn kg-1 while available zinc was highest with 7.5 mg Zn kg-1
