Abstract

An experiment consisting two levels of moisture regimes : (50 per cent ASM regimes and 75 per cent ASM regimes and four levels of fertility control, 40 kg N+80 kg P2O5, 80 kg N+120 kg P2O5, 120 kg N+160 kg P2O5) was conducted in winter season of 1993-94 and 1994-95 with the crop Leucaena at RBS College Research Farm, Bichpuri Campus, Agra. The result revealed that 75 per cent available soil moisture showed its superiority in tree height, Dbh, number of branches and biomass yield (q ha-1) over 50 per cent available soil moisture regimes. Variations in Leucaena height, diameter at breast height and number of branches due to fertility levels were quite nominal and could not reach the level of significance.
