Abstract

Studies on nutrient exclumge between soil and water in three tropical ponds showed
that productivity of a pond Aeed not necessarily depend upon the total nitrogen content
present in the soil. An inverse correlation was found between phosphate and nitfogen
contents of the soil, whereas t!» relationship between phosphate and pH of the soil
was direct. In all the three ponds the relationship between the soil nitrogen and the
ammoniacal nitrogen of the water was inverse. From these relationships it is evident that
the problem of nutrient exchange between soil and water needs further study
