Present paper deals with the estimation of soil micronutrients of agro-fields surrounding Durgapur Thermal Power Station, WB, India and the results were compared with the results of control area, Burdwan University Seed Multiplication Farm, Burdwan. Results revealed that the concentration of Cu and Mn is significantly (P<0.01) higher at thermal power plant site while the concentration of Fe and B is very low at the study area in comparison to the control site. The concentration of Mo is not

The Enrichment Factor (EF) of these micronutrients in DTPS site soil was found in the following sequence: Mn>Cu>Zn>Fe>B.
