Abstract:
The present study conducted entitled, "Effect of Neem Coated Urea (NCU) and Ordinary Urea on Soil Properties". Involved field experimentation conducted during Kharif season of year 2015 followed by laboratory analysis of the plant and soil samples in the department of agriculture chemistry and soil science, Udai Pratap Autonomous college, Varanasi (U. P). All grasses were removed from the experimental plots and soil samples have been taken from each replication plots at 30 DAT, 60 DAT and at harvesting. Significantly higher organic carbon content was recorded with 150% N of R.D by Neem coated urea (T6). On the basis of Nitrogen content of soil, different treatments could be arranged in orderT₆>T₄>T₅>T₃>T₂>T_1. The available phosphorus content of rice plots under different treatments was found in the order T₆>T₄>T₅,>T₃>T₂>T₁, and values varied from 18.00 to 22.25, 16.50 to 20.65, 15.25 to 19.70, 14.00 to 18.51, 13.10 to 17.20 and 11.00 to 14.50 kg ha^-1 under respective treatments. the available potassium content of soil varied from 201.30 to 247.00 kg ha^-1 and significantly higher potassium content of soil (247.00 kg ha^-1) was recorded under T, and least (201.30 kg ha^-1) under control. The effect of various treatment on available K was found in the order T₆>T₄>T₅>T₃>T₂>T₁.
