Effect of INM on soil microbial biomass carbon and enzyme activity under soybean of a Typic haplustepts

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on soil microbial biomass carbon and enzyme activity under soybean of a Typic Haplustepts was conducted at Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur during consecutive Kharif seasons of the year 2014 and 2015. Among the integrated nutrient management practices, the microbial biomass carbon and enzymatic activity of soil found decreasing order from flowering to at harvesting stage as well as the depth 0-15 and 15-30 cm during both the years of experiment and pooled basis.
