Effect of fertilizer levels, Biocompost and biofertilizer on Physioco chemical properties of soil

A field experiment was conducted at College Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat) during rabi season of the year 2017-18 to study the “Effect of fertilizer levels, biocompost and biofertilizer effect on physico chemical properties of soil. Twelve treatment combinations consisting of three levels of fertilizer, two levels of biocompost and two levels of biofertilizer were tried in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The result revealed that application of different treatments did not affect the pH, EC, available K2O and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu). While soil bulk density decreased, micro aggregate and organic carbon significantly improved after harvest of fodder sorghum. Available N of soil after harvest of fodder sorghum was improved significantly due to the integration of inorganic fertilizers with biocompost and biofertilizer. Available P2O5 content found non-significant but interaction of biocompost and biofertilizer found significant.
