Abstract
The present study was conducted to determine the effect of different soil pH and organic matter on germination, seedling growth and chemical attributes of Pongamia pinnata. The seeds were sown in soil with different pH (8.1, 9.0, 10.2 and 10.5) and the different pH soil mixed with sand + farmyard manure at 2:1:1 ratio compared with control (red earth + sand + farmyard manure at 2:1:1 ratio. Significant differences were observed among different treatments for all the parameters of germination and seedling growth of 28 days old seedling and survival percentage, seedling growth attributes and chemical constituents (Chlorophyll a, b and total) and total N, P and K content of 180 days old seedling.
