Abstracts |
A field experiment was conducted in Pantnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India, during 2000-01 to evaluate the effects of integrated nutrient management on the properties of a Mollisol (sandy loam) under okra-pea-tomato cropping sequences. An increase in available nitrogen in soil after each harvest was observed. Inoculation of phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza significantly increased the availability of phosphorus in soil. An improvement in soil properties was noticed with the buildup of soil organic carbon coupled with a marginal decline in bulk density.. |
