Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive seasons of 2022-23 and 2023-2024 at Research Farm, Department of environmental science, college of Sehore, Mansarovar Global university Sehore (MP). The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with sixteen treatment combinations and replicated thrice. The study on the effect of organic sources of nutrient and bio-inoculants on diversity of microbe under chickpea. It is clear from the data that the highest microbial cells count like Rhizobium (16.43 x 106 cfu/g soil) (cfu- colony forming unit), PSB (Phosphate solubilizing bacteria) (19.03 x 106 cfu/g soil) was recorded under application of vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1 followed by FYM (farm yard manure) @ 5 t ha-1 along with Rhizobium and PSB (12.25 x 106 cfu/g soil) and (17.72 x 106 cfu/g soil), respectively. Whereas, highest fungi and actinomycetes count were observed under FYM @ 5 t ha-1 in combination with bio-inoculants and recorded 41.30 x 104 cfu/g and 12.92 x 103 cfu/g soil, respectively followed by vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1 with same inoculants. Whereas the lowest population of fungi was recorded under control along with combined application of bio-fertilizers (29.23 x 104 cfu/g and 7.25 x 103 cfu/g soil).
