ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted on, influence of partially and fully decomposed FYM on humic, fulvic acid, microbial count in soil and yield of sorghum during 2007-08. Season wise (at beginning of winter, end of winter and at mid summer) soil samples were collected, processed and analyzed for humic, fulvic acid and microbial count in soil. The result showed that the addition of well decomposed and undecomposed FYM with or without chemical fertilizers showed significant effect on content of humic and fulvic acid at beginning of winter (1.96% and 13.52%), at end of winter (1.84 and 12.54) and at mid summer (1.70 and 11.43) respectively due to addition of 10 tonne fully decomposed FYM over all other treatment combination except 10 tonne partially decomposed FYM with RDF. The result further revealed that population of bacteria and actinomycets were significantly maximum at beginning of winter of season 2.4 x 108, 1.8 x 107, end of winter 2.2x108 and 1.7x 107 and at mid summer 2.2 x 108, 1.7 x 107 g-1 respectively due to addition of 10 tonne fully decomposed FYM with RDF over all other treatments. Fungi population was maximum with the application of 5 tonne fully decomposed FYM at beginning of winter was 1.7 x 105, at end of winter 1.6 x 105 and at mid summer 1.5 x 105 g-1 over addition of 5 tonne partially decomposed FYM. Simillarly maximum grain and fodder yield were recorded due to application of 10 tonne fully decomposed FYM with RDF over all other treatments except 5 tonne fully decomposed FYM with RDF.
