Abstract


a pot culture experiment was conducted to study the progressive variation in available nutrients In soil.yield of ragi -(Eleusine coracana Gaertn.)and uptake of nutrients as effected by different carriers of nitrogen and phophorus in the representative sandy soils of TamilNadu.Soils samples were collected at tillering.flowering and post harvest stages of the crop and analysed for available nutrients.There was rapid decrease in avaiilable nutrients,due to leachng.The yield and uptake of nutrients depended on the fine sand contant of the soil.
