Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the soil microbial population as influenced by application of flyash and organic manures during the kharif 2015. The results revealed that the microbial population viz., bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes conspicuously increased with application of flyash with organic manures compare to application of only flyash. The highest population of bacteria (13.43 cfu x 10⁶ gm^-1), fungi (5.67 × 10³ cfu g^-1) and actinomycetes (15.03 × 10⁴ cfu g^-1) were reported in treatment receiving flyash @ 15 t ha^-1 + municipal compost @ 15 t ha^-1 along with RDF over other treatment combinations.
