Published article from Institute research project
A study was conducted to investigate the effect of multipurpose tree species namely Prosopis cineraria, Acacia senegal and Tecomella undulata on the physical and chemical properties of soils representing Typic Haplocambids. The plantations of Prosopis cineraria and Acacia senegal were even aged, while that of Tecomella undulata was relatively young. The soils had an overall low status of SOC (K>Mg>P>Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu under tree species and variation in the amount of nutrient returned to the soils among the different tree species and field without plantation explained by the quantity of litter production and its chemical composition. The present study also indicated that these available nutrients had significant and positive correlation with organic carbon content across the land uses. ICAR-CAZRI, Jodhpur |
