Abstract: An experiment was carried out at SKN College of Agriculture, Jobner (Jaipur) Rajasthan to find out the Influence of Various Nutrient Sources on Physic-chemical Properties and Nutrients Status of Loamy Sand Soil in Randomized Block Design with three replications to balance the fertilizer requirement of ber orchard during 2015-16. The water retention at 1500 and 33 kPa, bulk density and organic carbon content in soil were significantly affected by application of FYM @ 20 kg per plant which was statistically at par with vermicompost @ 6 kg plant and poultry manure @ 8 kg plant than control. The application of vermicompost @ 6 kg per plant among the different organic manures proved significantly superior over rest of the treatments in respect to available N, P and K content in soil except poultry manure @ 8 kg per plant. Similarly, results also revealed that application of 125 per cent RDF (F4) also significantly enhanced all the parameters except water retention at 1500 and 33 kPa, bulk density and organic carbon content in soil, however it was statistically at par with 100 per cent RDF (F3).
