Growth of seedlings of Terminalia crenulata (Syn. T. tomentosa) was found to be best in the soil medium consisting of equal proportion of red soil, sand, FYM and ash as compared to rest of the seven soil media tried. The total dry matter accumulation in the seedlings was 275 per cent more as compared to the soil medium consisting of soil, sand and FYM in the ratio of 2:1:1 used under usual practice in the region.
