Physical and chemical properties of some soils from Madhupur rubber
plantation area in Bangladesh have been studied. Results of particle-size distribution,
oven dry/air dry ratio, field moisture capacity, pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen,
cation exchange capacity (CEC) and exchangeable cations of the soils on depth basis
have been presented. The nutrient contents of these soils have also been reported. With
respect to nutrient status and physico-chemical properties, these soils are considered
to have good potentiality and prospect for increased production of rubber, if proper
attention and management practices are adopted.
