| Abstract: | Summary Analysis of regularly collected samples of soil and water from Makhana (Euryale ferox) growing ponds indicated that pH of soil and water were established near neutrality and C/N of soil near ten. Bicarbonate dominated soil extract while chloride dominated standing water. During grand growth period (March to June), Ca2++Mg2+, NH4+ K+ increased while Na+ increased during decay of the plant (July to September) both in soil and plants. The soil had high contents of micro-nutrients, K and P. S.A.R. of soil was 3 to 4 times that of water. Free energy of exchange indicated stability and spontaneity. |
