In this article the authors discuss concept of soil testing for organic farming and have identified a number novel methods estimation potentially mineralizable nitrogen (N), microbial biomass nitrogen, speciation biologically active phosphate fraction, potassium. More so, modification in lime requirement, cation balancing—a cationic plant nutrition are proposed. The present communication suggests an attribute designated "biological fertility index" combining both chemical biological...

The present communication deals with the study of changes in bacterial community structure rhizosphere and phyllosphere under influence transgenic non-transgenic potato plant. plants used this experiment synthesize fructan-soluble carbohydrate tuber gives better nutritive value different biological importance. To assess diversity, terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP)-a fingerprint technique, based on between distinct small-subunit rDNA gene sequence, was used. Three...
The present communication deals with the assessment of phosphate solubilizing bacterial community structure across artificially created fertility gradient regards to N, P and K status soil in experimental site. 20 randomly bacteria from each were isolated, purified characterized through their insoluble mineral phosphate-source utilization patterns. Four sources; purulia rock (PRP), mussourie (MRP), crystalline iron aluminum charged basic Pikovskaia solid medium. Growth pattern isolates on...
Finding a suitable method for estimating soil and crop specific potassium (K) bioavailability under variable range of fertility has been mighty challenge. To undermine this, field experiment was conducted varying levels fertilizer application on pre-established gradient strips in the Indo-Gangetic plains West Bengal, India predicting response to assess K availability winter growing broccoli by employing six acclaimed chemical extractants viz. ammonium...
The investigation reveals the relative efficacy of composting techniques regarding phosphorus transformation rice straw (RS) and water-hyacinth (WH). recipe for each substrate: cow-dung:soil:FYM was in ratio 6:3:0.5:0.5. Vermicomposting WH resulted highest proliferation phosphate solubilising microorganisms (PSM) their capacity (PSC) besides causing maximum phosphatases activities, total water soluble (WSP) addition to lowest C:P ratio. Heap method less effective than vermicomposting....
In-situ rehabilitation of fly ash at dumping sites has rarely been addressed for crop production due to growth-related constraints, largely heavy metal (HM) contamination in soils and crops. Current communication deals with a novel approach identify suitable management option rejuvenating the contaminated soils. In this background, 60-days incubation experiment was conducted different ash-soil mixtures (50 + 50%, A1; 75 25%, A2; 100 0%, A3) along four ameliorants, namely, lime (T1), sodium...
Soil is full of microbial diversity and microbes present in soil interact diversely with other living form e.g., plants. These interactions range from symbiosis to parasitic. Among these, the most predominating mutualistic symbiotic relation mycorrhiza (associated ∼80% terrestrial plant species), formed between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi vascular An experiment was conducted under three cropping system rice-maize-cowpea (RMCp), rice-wheat-green gram (RWGg) rice-cauliflower-bororice...
