Effect of Microbial Inoculants on Soil Microflora after Harvest of the Beetroot Crop (Beta vulgaris L.)

The microbial inoculants have the direct influence on improving the soil health and also in increasing the soil microflora and beneficial microorganisms which enhance the crop growth and yield. The bacteria (42.20, No×10⁶ cfu/g soil), fungi (32.83, No×10³ cfu/g soil) and actinomycetes (27.63, No×10⁴ cfu/g soil) population was maximum in combined inoculation of microbial inoculants viz., Azotobacter chroococcum, Glucanobacter diazotrophicus, Bacillus megaterium and Trichoderma harzianum, with 75 per cent N, P with full dose of K. similarly the beneficial microorganisms like Azotobacter chroococcum, (18.70, No×10⁶ cfu/g soil) Glucanobacter diazotrophicus, (22.54, No×10⁶ cfu/g soil) Bacillus megaterium(13.56, No×10⁶ cfu/g soil) and Trichoderma harzianum(16.47, No×10³ cfu/g soil) population was maximum in the same treatment compared to control treatment(FYM alone T₁₄).
