Abstract
From the present study it may be concluded that application of different sources of biochar showed a positive response towards the microbial activity in soil. Application of maize cob biochar had stimulating effect on soil bacterial and actinomycetes population. It also stimulated the dehydrogenase enzyme activity in soil. In contrast, the fungal population in soil was decreased by applying different sources of biochar. The incubation period had both stimulating and inhibiting effect on soil biological properties.
