Abstract:
The current experiment was conducted in the month of October, 2021-22 in sacks at the open shade area of the roof top of house situated at Sodala, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Five different treatments of organic manure (Farm yard manure, vermicompost and crop residue) in combination with organic biofertilizers like liquid and carrier-based biofertilizers were applied to test the changes in physico-chemical properties of experimental soil. The results obtained with highest pH, electrical conductivity (ds/m), porosity (%), organic carbon (%), Available Phosphorus (kg/ha) and Available Nitrogen (kg/ha) in the treatment T₄ [3.75 t Farm Yard Manure/ha + 1.5 t Crop Residue/ha + Liquid based biofertilizer (Rhizobium) (800ml/ha)] than other treatments and control. It was concluded from the study that the use of organic manures (Farm yard manure and vermicompost and crop residue) alone and in combination with organic biofertilizers (Liquid and Carrier-based biofertilizers) improved the soil's physico-chemical properties.
