Abstract

The present study is one step towards sustainable agricultural practices. The results observed for biological properties like enumeration of microorganism (bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes), biomass in terms of organic carbon for both the crops but nodulation in case of soybean in vertisol soil indicated that these properties were significantly enhanced for both the crops on the application of different IPNM treatments. The best results were observed with T₆ treatment (25% NPK+FYM). The incorporation of different IPNM treatments has also showed that IPNM treatments have significantly leading to the improved biological properties of soil.
