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.
