A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive Rabi seasons of 2021-22 and 2022-23 at Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner to study the influence of mycorrhiza and foliar fertilization on available nutrient content and dehydrogenase activity in soil under arid region. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with twenty four treatment combinations replicated thrice. The results revealed that application of 100% RDF, mycorrhiza @ 8 kg ha^-1 and foliar spray with 0.3% nano urea + 0.2% liquid sulphur fertilizer significantly altered the nutrient content and dehydrogenase activity in soil.
