Abstract:
This experiment was conducted at the Soil Microbiology section of Department of Soil Science, College of Agriculture, CSK HPKV, Palampur in pea-sesamum cropping sequence during
rabi, 2008 and
kharif, 2009.There were eight treatments with randomized block design (RBD). The soil was silty clay loam in texture, pH 5.2, cation exchange capacity 10.3 c mol (p
+) kg
-1, organic carbon 9.5 g kg
-1, available N and P (267.1 kg ha
-1 and 10.2 kg ha
-1) during this study. After the harvest of crop, representative soil samples from each plot were taken from the depths of 0-0.15 m and 0.15-0.30 m and were analyzed for chemical properties of soil. The results revealed that highest organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, available and total nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were recorded where organic, inorganic and biofertilizers were applied conjunctively. The yield and yield attributes of pea and sesamum crop were recorded highest where organic sources (FYM), inorganic sources (Half N and P and full K (RDF) and biofertilzers (Nitrogen Fixer (B) + Phosphate Solubilizers) were applied.
