Abstract:
This study sampled wheat farms in Ntulele area of Narok county to determine the levels of nitrate, phosphate and sulfate using UV-VIS spectrophotometer and data analyzed using MSTAT-C, SPSS and student t-test. Nitrates were found to be sufficient whereas phosphates and sulfates were found to be deficient in most of the farms sampled. Sulfate had the least CV% of 8.54 followed by nitrates with 14.23% and phosphate had the highest with 21.91% an indication that all the nutrients were applied in similar rates by the farmers of Ntulele. The nutrients before and after planting were significant (p<0.05). Keywords: Nitrate, Sulfate, Phosphate, UV-VIS, Soil, Ntulele
