Abstract:
An experiment was carried out at Horticultural Research and Extension Centre (HREC), Sirsi, Uttara Kannada district during 2020-2022 to evaluate the influence of natural farming on yield, quality, soil microbial and soil nutritional status in black pepper. The experiment consists of different farming practices, viz., natural farming, organic farming, Recommended Package of Practice (RPP) and chemical farming. The results show that natural farming recorded a significantly higher population of bacteria (41.86 cfu × 106 g-1 soil), fungi (13.70 cfu × 103 g-1 soil), phosphorous solubilizers (41.60 cfu × 104 g-1 soil), actinomycetes (16.87 cfu × 104 g-1 soil) and free-living nitrogen fixers (16.55 cfu × 104 g-1 soil) in the soil rhizosphere of black pepper under areca based cropping system. While recommended package of practice recorded significantly higher available nitrogen (250.18 kg/ha), phosphorous (19.36 kg/ha) and potassium (304.61 kg/ha) in the soil.
