Abstract
An incubation experiment consisting of three levels of fertilizer (0%, 100%, 50%) as well as four levels of vermicompost (0 t ha-1, 1.25 t ha-1, 2.5 t ha-1, 3.7 t ha-1) along with calcareous sandy loam soil conducted over a period of one year during kharif,2018 at Dr. RPCAU, Pusa. The effect of incubation on water soluble carbon (WSC), hot-water soluble carbon (HWSC) and available-N increased from 0th DAI to 115th DAI, whereas TOC, OC, KMnO4-C increased from 0th DAI to 65th DAI and then decreased up to 115th DAI.
