Author(s):

Abstract:
A laboratory incubation study experiment was conducted at ambient temperature in the shadenet house of the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Post Graduate Institute, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri to study the effect of levels of zeolite on soil chemical properties and nutrient release at 25, 50 and 75 days incubation stages. There were three replications comprising of twelve treatments. Treatments were T1: Absolute control, T2: GRDF,
T3: GRDF + Zeolite @ 20 kg/ha, T4: GRDF + Zeolite @ 40 kg/ha, T5: GRDF + Zeolite @ 60 kg/ha, T6: GRDF + Zeolite @ 80 kg/ha, T7: GRDF + Zeolite @ 100 kg/ha, T8: Zeolite @ 20 kg/ha, T9: Zeolite @ 40 kg/ha, T10: Zeolite @ 60 kg/ha,T11: Zeolite @ 80 kg/ha,T12: Zeolite @ 100 kg/ha. The effect of zeolite levels on soil pH showed non-significant result. A slight increase in electrical conductivity was observed. The available nitrogen and available phosphorus was observed to increase significantly with increasing Zeolite treatment and also with increase in the days of incubation.
