Light textured soils having low organic matter and nutrient content in the soil are prone to nutrient deficiencies in the plants growing on such soils. Zinc deficiency symptoms were observed in poplar plantations and nurseries, having soil deficient in organic matter and nutrient contents in Ludhiana District of Punjab on such soils. The deficiency was exhibited by development of irregular interveinal chlorosis of recently matured leaves along the margins that extends towards base of leaves. The deficiency was ameliorated by soil application of 25 g/plant Zn (through ZnSO4.7H2O) in 1 year old plants, 40 g/plant Zn in 2 years old plants and 30 kg/ha Zn in 4.5 years old plants. Application of 20 kg/ha Zn was sufficient for eradicating Zn deficiency in nurseries. Deficiency could be cured by 5-6 weekly sprays of 0.5 per cent ZnSO4.7H2O (alongwith half the quantity of unslaked lime) in the solution volumes of 1 l/tree for one year old trees, 2 l/tree for 2 year old trees and 250 l/ha for nursery. The micronutrient (except Fe) content of the recently matured normal leaves (Zn: 29.2-38.6 mg kg-1) was higher than the deficient leaves (Zn: 25.2-28.4 mg kg-1) taken from same position on branch or stem of trees. It was suggested to apply Zn at the planting time of poplar that can meet the requirement of plants throughout its growth.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of four fertilizer levels (NoPoKo, N100P56K25, N200P1ooK50 and N4OOP2ooK1OO kg ha.1), and three spacings (35 cm x 35 cm, 50 cm x 50 cm and 65 cm x 65 cm) on growth parameters, biomass production and uptake of nutrients by PopUlus deltoides in nursery. Fertilizer application increased significantly the collar diameter, height, shoot biomass and nutrient uptake. Wider spacing (65 cm x 65 cm) produced plants having significantly higher biomass and growth parameters. The uptake of nutrients was significantly higher at closer spacing of 35 cm x 35 cm than at wider spacing (65 cm x 65 cm) but uptake per plant was lower.- Tree Growth and Accumulation of Organic Carbon and Nutrients in Soil Under Tree Plantations in Arid Zone of Punjab
