Abstract
The distribution of urease and acid and alkaline phosphatase in some jute-growing soils of West Bengal was investigated. Urease and alkaline phosphatase activities were significantly and positively correlated with organic carbon, fungal and bacterial populations, whereas acid phosphatase activity was only significantly correlated with organic phosphorus content. None of the soil enzyme activities was correlated significantly with pH, clay content or soil actinomycetes. Urease and alkaline phosphatase were significantly correlated with each other.Keywords
