Influence of pinus kesiya on soil properties

The main aim of the present study was to determine microbial population and to analysis soil physical and chemical properties from rhizospheric and non-rhizospheric soil of Pinus kesiya. Microbial population (bacteria, fungus and actinomycetes) was observed higher in rhizoshepric soil compared to non-rhizospheric soil of P. kesiya. Among bacteria, fungus and actinomycetes soil microorganism, bacteria were found maximum in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil followed by fungi and actinomycetes. According to soil physico-chemical characteristics analysis, soil rhizospheric showed richer in soil nutrients than the non-rhizospheric soil characteristics. In conclusion, it is evident that P. kesiya has ability to influence soil microorganism and improves the soil properties in the ecosystem.
