The microbial properties and nitrogen (N2) fixation of soil under different nutrient combinations were studied in a 46-year old long-term fertilizer experiment in a Vertisol. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design comprising of 10 treatments viz., T1: 50% NPK, T2: 100% NPK, T3: 150% NPK, T4: 100% NPK + Hand weeding (100% NPK+HW), T5: 100% NPK + zinc (100% NPK + Zn), T6: 100% NP, T7: 100% N, T8: 100% NPK+ 5 t FYM ha-1 (100% NPK+FYM), T9: 100% NPK(–S) and T10: Control, each treatment being replicated four times in a randomized block design. Soil samples from all the treatments were collected from 0–15 cm depth and microbial properties and N2 fixation of soil were estimated. Significant increase in soil organic carbon, total N and available N were recorded with 100% NPK+FYM. Similarly, the maximum number of nodules and their biomass were also recorded in 100% NPK+FYM treatment at 30, 45 and 60 days after sowing. The bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes population counts in soil were 39.1×107, 42.7×104 and 39.1×105 cfu g-1 soil, respectively with the integrated application of inorganic fertilizer and organic manure (100% NPK+FYM) over control (11.7×107, 18.5×104 and 13.6×105 cfu g-1 soil, respectively). Further, the conjoint use of balance dose of fertilizers with FYM was also significantly superior in terms of soil microbial biomass carbon and microbial biomass N over other treatments even after 46 years of experimentation. The grain and straw yield of soybean and their N uptake were also significantly increased with graded dose of fertilizers and maximum yield and N uptake were noted in 100% NPK+FYM treatments over control plot.","PeriodicalId":17302,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Society of Soil Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48417632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design, comprising of twelve treatment combinations of different levels of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) with or without bio-NPK consortium (Azotobacter sp., Azospirillim sp. and Bacillus sp.) with three replications. The soil of Thasra experimental field was clay loam texture, medium in organic carbon, available nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), high in available potassium (K) and medium in available Zn and Fe. Results revealed that application of RDF + 75% Zn + 75% Fe + Bio-NPK consortium (T12) recorded significantly higher yield and uptake of N, P and S by rice grain and straw. The Fe content in straw and Zn content in grain increased significantly with application of RDF + 100% Zn + 100% Fe + Bio-NPK consortium (T10). Significantly higher Fe and Zn uptake by grain and straw of rice was observed with application of RDF + 75% Zn + 75% Fe + Bio-NPK consortium (T12). Maximum Cu uptake by rice straw was recorded with application of RDF + 100% Zn + 100% Fe + Bio-NPK consortium (T10). The available N, P, K, S, Zn, Mn and Cu content in soil after harvest of rice failed to show any significant influence with different treatments. Significantly higher available Fe (7.10 mg kg-1) in soil after harvest of rice was found in treatment with RDF + 75% Zn + 75% Fe (T11). Maximum population of Azotobacter, Azospirillum, phosphate solubilizing bacteria and potassium mobilizing bacteria in soil was found in treatment T12 (RDF + 75% Zn + 75% Fe + Bio-NPK consortium) over control.","PeriodicalId":17302,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Society of Soil Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48321894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
