Abstract:
A tremendous obstacles gonna face by globe to feed and clothes an additional 2 billion people by 2050.This work is difficult enough as it is, but there are several extra constraints that make it considerably more difficult. Integrated applications with a well-balanced mix of mineral fertilizer, organic, and biological sources of nutrients are not only complementary, but also synergistic, because organic inputs have favorable effects. In keeping the above fact in view, a field trail was carried out at CRF, SHUATS, and NAI Prayagraj during Rabi season 2021 on Impact of different levels of Organic and Inorganic fertilizers on Physico-chemical properties of soil Post cultivation of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) Var. Queen Neha with nine different treatments which were replicated thrice. It was observed that for post-harvest, soil properties in treatment T₉ (100% RDF @ N₁₅₀ P₈₀ K₇₀ kg ha^-1 +100% FYM @ 25 t ha^-1) were improved due to organic and inorganic fertilizers. The max. D_b (1.303) (1.309) at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth, D_p max. Was observed (2.525) (2.539) at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth values of pore space (42.17%) (37.20%) at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth, water holding capacity (34.52%) (35.95%) at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth, pH (7.35) (7.45) at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth, EC (0.232 dSm^-1) (0.203 dSm^-1), Organic Carbon (0.523%) (0.498%) at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth, Available Nitrogen (271.3 kg ha^-1) (191.3 kg ha^-1) at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth, Available Phosphorus (23.73 kg ha^-1) (22.54 kg ha^-1)at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth and Available Potassium (210.3 kg ha^-1) (157.3 kg ha^-) at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depth. From the trail it can be concluded the treatment T₉ was found to improve soil Physico-chemical properties with respect to other treatments.
