SOIL BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES AS INFLUENCED BY ORGANIC AND INORGANIC SOURCE OF NUTRIENTS IN WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.)Manisha Meena, Gajanand Jat, S.C. Meena and R.H. MeenaAbstract A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at Instructional Farm (Agronomy), Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur (Rajasthan) to study the impacts of organic and inorganic source of nutrients on soil biological properties in Typic Haplustepts soil of Sub-humid Southern Plain and Aravalli Hills Region in Rajasthan. The experiment was laid out according to factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The treatments consisting of four levels of organic source of nutrients (control, 2 t EC/ha + two foliar spray of seaweed extract @ 5%, 4 t EC/ha + two foliar spray of seaweed extract @ 10 % and 6 t EC/ ha+ two foliar spray of seaweed extract @ 15%) and four levels of inorganic source of nutrients (control, 50% RDF + two foliar spray of Nano Zn 0.5%, 75% RDF + two foliar spray of Nano Zn 0.5% and 100% RDF + two foliar spray of Nano Zn 0.5%) were applied to the wheat var. Raj-3077 as soil application with uniform application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as per the recommended doses. |
