The present study was aimed to evaluate the enzyme activities and nutrient status of ber orchard in semi-arid region of Punjab. Surface (0-15cm) soils showed and higher DHA as compared to subsurface (15-30 cm) and (30-60cm) layers, respectively. Like DHA, surface (0-15cm) soils showed and higher acid phosphatase as compared to subsurface (15-30 cm) and (30-60 cm) soils, respectively. Whereas, in surface soils (0-15 cm) % and higher alkaline- phosphatase was reported as compared to subsurface soils (15-30 cm) and (30-60 cm), respectively. On an average, pH ranged from to with mean value of in surface (0-15cm) soils. | Enzyme activities and nutrient status in soil under ber (Ziziphus mauritiana L.)
