Desert oil inorganic nutrients have their geological influence on wild medicinal herbs, plants and crop production. Soil samples collected from different areas of Cholistan desert were analysed for pH, moisture, and soluble salt organic contents, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, Al3+, Cl-, CO32-, HCO3-, So42_ and PO43-. pH was observed from 7.30 to 8.85. Average level of nutrients were found higher in the order Al3+ (4323.66±205.93)> Fe3+(289.54±160.77)> SO42- (266.19±215.59)> Cl- (247.08±248.48)> HCO3- (78.45±161.44)> CO32- (60.14±414.26)> Ca2+ (53.16±50.01) Mg2+ (18.95±19.39)> PO43- (18.72±24.20)> Na+ (17.75±15.34) K+ (15.81±18.51). Data analysis for soluble salts and CO32- has showed random variation in result from positive correlation for certain pairs of nutrients.
