Intensive agriculture involving high crop intensity, unavailability of organics, and higher use of straight fertilizers causes imbalanced use and deficiencies of several other macro and micronutrients. Nutrients supply through the integration of microbial consortium containing Gluconacetobater diazotrophicus, Trichoderma harzianum, and Pseudomonas fluorescens can reduce the requirements on the one hand and can also increase the response of chemical fertilizers. Thus we had planned the present experiment with the objectives (i) to determine the effect of integrated application of microbial consortium (MC) and NPK fertilizer on soil quality parameters and crop growth and yield attributes and (ii) to assess the effect of integration on agronomic efficiency of N, P and K and find out the possibilities for reduction in applied doses of NPK, if any. Five treatments viz., T1; N0P0K0; T2: N75P13K25; T3: N150P26K50; T4: N75P13K25 + microbial consortium and T5: N150P26K50 + microbial consortium containing new strains of Trichoderma harzianum, Gluconcetobacter diazotrophicus, and Pseudomonas fluorescens (CFU 109–10 per ml liquid culture) were evaluated under four replications in a randomized block design (RBD). Experimental results indicated that integrating microbial consortium and NPK fertilizers' application proved effective in improving soil organic carbon, soil microbial population, microbial biomass carbon, microbial biomass nitrogen, and soil respiration. Integrated use of microbial consortium with NPK also improved the cation exchange capacity of soil and roots. However, the growth and yield attributes, nutrients uptake, sugarcane, and sugar yields also revealed a positive effect of microbial consortium's integrated application with NPK. The integration of MC and NPK also improved the agronomic efficiency of applied nutrients (NPK). Reduction of 50% NPK with these microbial consortia (Trichoderma harzianum, Gluconcetobacter diazotrophicus, and Pseudomonas fluorescens) was found better than the application of full NPK through chemical fertilizers. Thus application of N150P26K50 with microbial consortium can sustain soil fertility besides improving sugarcane and sugar yields in subtropical Indian conditions.

“…On the other hand, the significantly lower number of pods plant, pod length and number of seeds pod -1 of greengram was recorded with the treatment combination of residue removal with 75% RDF but was found to be on par with in-situ burning with 75% RDF, retention with 75% RDF and retention + consortia with 75% RDF. The higher number ofpods plant -1 , pod length and number of seeds pod -1 with consortia + incorporation + SSP with 125% RDF could be marked out due to the faster decomposition of crop residues that released nutrients in tune with the crop growth and concurrent availability moisture content that resulted in better growth and development of greengram (Badiger et al, 2019).…”

Background: Farmers’ conventional tillage and residue removal practices in rice-maize-greengram systems in India are input-intensive, costly and soil degradative. A number of soil quality issues have emerged due to continuous cropping and burning of residues threatening the sustainability of rice based cropping systems for the last more than four decades. Nevertheless, the in-situ or in-field decomposition of crop residue using microbial inoculum is rarely studied. This necessitated the use of microbial consortia developed by a combination of potent strains of fungi which can perform harmoniously for rapid decomposition of crop residues. Methods: A field experiment was conducted during 2020-21 and 2021-22 with eight residue-management treatments and three fertility levels to zero till maize at college farm, Rajendranagar, PJTSAU using strip plot design and the residual effect on the succeeding greengram was studied. Result: Greengram growth and yield were significantly higher under residual effect of incorporation of residues treated with microbial consortia consisting of Trichoderma viridae, Aspergillus awamori and Phanerocheate spp. along with 300:100:100 kg ha-1 of N, P2O5 and K2O (125% RDF) and P supplied in the form of single super phosphate (SSP) under zero tillage during summer, 2021 and 2022. Growth parameters like plant height, leaf area index, dry matter production and yield attributes like number of pods plant-1, pod length and number of seeds pod-1 in greengram were higher under residue incorporated plots compared to residue burning, removal and retention plots with 125% RDF.
