Effect of biofertilizers and vermicompost on physico-chemical properties of soil under wheat (Triticum aestivum) crop

A field experiment was conducted at the Instructional farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur for two years (2017–18 and 2018–19) during winter (rabi) season. The experiments were arranged in a randomized block design (RBD) manner with 3 replications. results showed that, seed inoculation biofertilizers (Azotobacter + Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria Potash mobilizing Zinc bacteria) improved physico-chemical properties soil except bulk density, particle pH, EC higher availability nutrients over control plot. Whereas case vermicompost (VC), physical such as BD, PD, porosity, WHC chemical like EC, CEC, OC available found distinctly enhanced under 50% VC sowing tillering post-harvest control. However, significantly reduced pH EC. Furthermore, both split application also productivity wheat. It is concluded that could reliably be used to improve wheat cultivated soils.
