Abstract

Established Pinus patula plantations of age below 10 years were selected and the soils were examined for their morphological, physical and chemical properties. These soils contain 4.2% organic carbon, 0.024% available P₂O₃ 0.133% exchangeable K⁺, 6.5 me% exchangeable Ca²⁺ and 3.5 me% exchangeable Mg²⁺. The P. patula plantation can be grown successfully in Tamil Nadu at altitudes around 1900 m msl on gentle slopes having deep, well drained slightly acidic sandy clay loam soil.
