Sample	pH value	Soil organic matter (g.kg-1)	Alkaline-hydrolyzable nitrogen (mg.kg-1 soil)	Available phosphorus (mg.kg-1 soil)	Available potassium (mg.kg-1 soil)
RMS1	5.60a	11.34b	160.04c	77.55c	156.38c
RMS3	5.46b	12.87a	176.07b	130.54b	312.79a
RMS5	5.08c	12.36a	199.70a	146.09a	183.61b

Values are means ± standard error (n = 3). Means followed by the same letter for a given factor are not significantly different (P < 0.05; LSD test).
