ABSTRACT
Banana is the second most important fruit crop in India next to mango. Present study evaluated effect of different organic manure on soil microflora. Different treatment were, T1 - Control, T2 - Farm residue + Amrutpani, T3 - Farm residue + Punchgavya, T4 - Farm residue + Jeevamrut, T5 - Farm residue + Banana pseudo stem sap and T6 - Inorganic fertilizer to banana organic farm soil, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat. Its effect on total microbial load and PGPR was examined. Macro and micro nutrient were analyzed from organic manure. Total microbial load viz., bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes were higher in T5 treatment. N2 fixers were higher in T3 during monsoon, whereas P solubilizer was higher in T4. Fluorescent pseudomonas was higher in T5 treatment. Banana pseudostem has higher content of all nutrients except Mn, B, Si and Ni. Hence, due to higher load of beneficial bacteria and nutrient in organic manure compare to control and inorganic manure, it can be effectively used for banana farming.
Key words :
Banana pseudostem sap, Beejamrut, Jeevamrut, Organic manure, Panchgavya.
