Abstract

Macronutrient release pattern in tree leaf litters amended Rajendrapur forest soils was studied during the period from 23 June to 24 September, 2005 by an incubation experiment over four months. Leaf litter viz. Teak (Tecktona grandis), minjiri (Cassia stamea), sal (Shorea robusta) and mahogoni (Sweitenia macrophylla) were added to the soil @ lg 50 g-1 soil (dry wet basis). The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with three replications. Nutrients were significantly released upon decomposition of the leaf litters used. The highest NH4+-N and NO3--N was released from minjiri amended soil at day 5 and day 20, respectively. After an initial flash of available P there was a marked decrease in all the amended soils. The release of K into the available pool was higher in mahogoni and mingiri than other amendments. The highest release of Ca was observed in teak amended soil after two months and mahogoni amanded soil recorded the highest amount of Mg at day 5. Available S release followed almost the same trend as for N.
