Albiziaprocera is the native and most common agri silvicultural /agrosilvopastutal tree
species of Semi-arid regions of Central India. This study focused on litter decomposition
and subsequent nutrient release (N, P, K) from litter fall under six-year old A. procera in
agroforestry system. The average weight loss from different fractions of litter of A.
procera, pod litter shows maximum decay followed by leaves and petiole Pod litter got the
maximum decay rate coefficient indicate faster rate of its decomposition. For 95 percent
decay leaf, petiole and pod litter decomposed faster under A. procera + crop.
Decomposition of A. procera litter is positively correlated with N, P and hemicellulose
concentration of litter and negatively correlated with lignin, C/N ratio, and lignin/N ratio.
Nutrient release from litter of A. procera followed the trend: K > N > P and was found
higher from pod followed by leaves and petiole. The added nutrients may contribute to the
sustainability of soil fertility, which is becoming an important phenomenon for
agroforestry practices.
