Abstract

A pot culture experiment was conducted to study the progressive variations in available nutrients in soil, yield of ragi (Eleusine coracana) and uptake of nutrients as affected by different carriers of nitrogen and phosphorus in the representative sandy soils of Tamil Nadu. Soil samples were collected at tillering, flowering and post harvest stages of the crop and analysed for available nutrients. There was rapid decrease in available nutrients, due to leaching. The yield and uptake of nutrients depended on the fine sand content of the soil
