Abstract

Greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effect of organicitt(eOrM) and Chaetomium globosum on enzyme activities, nutrient uptake and yield of usterbean. The OM gradient (1% and 3%) was created by application of vermicompost a sandy soil. In general 1.7% more decline in pH and 18% more increase in EC was observed due to inoculation of C. globosum in presence of OM. As compared to control soil, the e~ancement of acid phosphatase activity was observed up to 35% with OM alone and 50% when OM was combined with C. globosum. The increase in alkaline phosphatase activi was 12% more due to inoculation of C. globosum in OM compared to application of only OÂ¥. Increase in phytase activity was 71% more in OM treatment with C. globosum, which was t5% higher ~han applic~tion of OM alo~e. In general 6%, 23% and 10% more N, P and K a~cumulated in plant WIth C. globosum in presence of OM as compared to no inoculationl The seed ~~~ of clusterbean increased by 7.4% with C. globosum in the presence of hil~h level of Key words: Organic manure, Chaetomium globosum, acid and alkaline phosphata e, phytase, nutrient content, clusterbean.
