This paper highlights the nature and properties of soils in monocultures of teak, eucalypt (uncoppiced and coppiced), and mixed stands of teak and bombax plantations. Among the soil properties studied, viz bulk density, particle sizeseparates, soil pH, organic carbon, exchangeable bases and exchange acidity, thechemical properties differed in these plantations in comparison to physical properties.The relatively low values for pH, organic carbon, exchangeable bases and exchangeacidity in teak and eucalypt (uncoppiced and coppiced) in relation to teak andbombax plantations necessitate positive measures in the former plantations to preserveand enhance the fertility of the land.
