Soil enzymatic activity and yield of sugarcane short crop as influenced by fertilizers and microbial inoculants

Abstract

to study the effect of fertilizers and microbial inoculants on soil enzymatic activity and yield of sugarcane short crop. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with ten treatments and replicated thrice. The treatments consist of 75%, 100% and 125% RDF in combination of solid and liquid microbial inoculants (Gluconacetobacter, PSB and KSB). Data on soil urease, dehydrogenase, acid and alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity and yield were recorded. Among the ten treatments 100% RDF along with soil application of liquid Gluconacetobacter @ 10 kg ha -1 ,
