Effect of Teak Leaf Litter Addition on Nitrogen Mineralization in Soil During Litter Decomposition Under Abelmoschus moschatus

The field investigation was conducted in the year 2016–17 at Agroforestry Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Nagpur. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with ten treatments consisting of various levels of teak leaf litter combined with cow dung and bio-decomposer which were replicated thrice. Application of teak leaf litter @ 5 t ha⁻¹ + cow dung slurry @ 50% of teak leaf litter + bio-decomposer during 30, 60 and 90 DAS recorded maximum NH N: 35.08 mg Kg⁻¹, 4 51.07 mg Kg⁻¹, 43.72 mg Kg⁻¹ and NO₃N: 24.59 mg Kg⁻¹, 35.81 mg Kg⁻¹, 23.10 mg Kg⁻¹ respectively.
