EFFECT OF ENRICHED COMPOST ON SOIL ORGANIC CARBON DYNAMICS UNDER SOYBEAN ON VERTISOLS.

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to examine the effect of Enriched Compost on soil organic carbon dynamics under Soybean on Vertisols at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra, India. The experiment was laid out in Randomised block design with eight treatments replicated thrice. The treatments were framed with two composts i.e. Phospho-compost and Nitro-Phospho-Sulpho compost with combination of chemical fertilizers. Application of enriched compost boosts soil fertility and upgrades soil productivity. The results obtained revealed that the status of soil biological properties and carbon fractions were found significantly highest with the application of 100% P through NPS followed by 100% P through PC as compared to other treatments.
