| Popis: | Soils from tea garden in Sylhet and Moulovibazar, North East Bangladesh were analyzed for texture, organic matter, loss of moisture, pH, N, C/N ratio, Na, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, and Al. The soils are loamy to sandy loam, extremely acidic to acidic. They were very low in organic matter (0.87-1.60%), nitrogen content (0.051-0.121%) and pH (3.75-4.90). The exchangeable bases – Ca, Mg, Na and K - are also very low due to their leaching under existing acidic conditions. The C/N ratio is very low. The studied soils contain higher concentration of Fe, Al, and S. These soils are not ideal for tea cultivation because of low pH, organic matter, nitrogen, Na, Ca, Mg, and K contents. The data were statistically analyzed by LSD at 5% level of significance. |
