- Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Research farm of Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour with Katarni rice cv Bhagalpur Katarni during kharif season of 2017. The experiment was laid out with ten organic treatments in Randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Results revealed that the maximum microbial population viz., Bacteria, Actinomycetes, Fungi, Azospirillum, PSB and KSB (71.66, 27.33, 57.66, 43.66, 63.00 and 47.66 cfu × 105 g-1 oven dry soil) were recorded under treatment T5 {(75 % N (FYM) basal + 25 % N (V/C) at 25 DAT + Azospirillum@ 5 kg ha-1 + PSB @ 5 kg ha-1 + KSB @ 5 kg ha-1)} at panicle initiation stage trend was similar at harvesting stage. The treatment T5 significantly increased dehydrogenase activity by 81.62%, 10.80%, 24.86%, 15.66%, 17.83% and 18.91% when compared with application of T1 (RDF), T3 {(100 % N FYM) as basal)}, T7 {(100 % N (GM)}, T8 {(50 % N (GM) + 50 % N (V/C) at 25 DAT)}, T9 {(75 % N (GM) + 25 % N (V/C) at 25 DAT + Azospirillum@ 5 kg ha-1 + PSB @ 5 kg ha-1 + KSB @ 5 kg ha-1)} and T10 {(75 % N (GM) + 25 % N (V/C) at 25 DAT + Panchagabhya on foliar application)}, respectively. The maximum grain yield of paddy (27.39 q ha-1) was also recorded under treatment T5 which was found to be most effective in modifying soil microbial population, microbial community structure and grain yield of scented rice.
