Abstract

ABSTRACT Dalbergia sissoo (Roxb.) is best known as a premier timber species of the rosewood genus. This species deserves greater consideration for agroforestry applications for its multiple uses, tolerance to light, frosts and long dry seasons. Nutrients (P, K and Na) leaching from leaf litter of D. sissoo were studied in the laboratory. About 20% of initial weight of leaf litter was lost, while conductivity and TDS (Total Dissolved Solid) of leached water increased to 239 &#181S/cm and 114 mg/l, respectively and pH decreased to 5.81 after 96 hours. Weight loss (%) of leaf litter, conductivity and TDS of leached water showed significant (NAOVA, p
