ABSTRACT

Leaf and soil analyses on young peach trees indicate that application of nitrogen fertilizer as urea at the rate of 150g/tree resulted in the most optimum leaf nitrogen content and vegetative growth but in the least amount of leaf phosphorus content. It did not have any effect on leaf potassium content. There was no significant effect of different nitrogen treatments on soil parameters such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium and pH but the effect of nitrogen was significant on the organic matter content of the soil.
