Abstract

The present research trail was carried out after harvest of maize crop on calcareous soil (19% lime on w/w basis) of Pakistan, District Nowshera soil series [Piedmont alluvium, silty clay loam, Ustochrept] to study its chemical properties as affected by application of organic manures of different sources integrated with urea. The treatments of the present study were divided into 3 groups based on the combination ratios such as 1:1, 3:1 and 1:0. Total 13 treatments such as: T1=alone Urea (control), T2 [Urea+SSB (1:1)], T3 [Urea+SCB (1:1)], T4 [Urea+PL (1:1)], T5 [Urea+FYM (1:1)], T6 [Urea+SSB (3:1)], T7 [Urea+SCB (3:1)], T8 [Urea+PL (3:1)], T9 [Urea+FYM (3:1)], T10=alone SSB, T11=alone SCB, T12=alone PL, T13=alone FYM were used and each treatment was replicated thrice. The combination ratios of the treatments were based on %N (required amount of N is 120 kg/ha) received from Urea and organic manures. Results of the experiment revealed that all the treatments have significantly affected (P>0.05) the soil chemical properties such as pH, E. C, total nitrogen content and organic matter content while bulk density was non-significant. By comparing various treatments groups, treatments having 1:1 combination ratio (T2, T3, T4 and T5) have shown best results in case of pH, E. C and nitrogen content of post-harvest soil. They have mediated the pH and E. C to levels favorable for plant growth and N uptake. While in case of organic matter content maximum results were obtained for treatments having combination ratio of 1:0 i-e (T10, T11, T12 and T13). From the present study it was concluded that all the treatments except control have altered the chemical status of soil to a favorable soil enviro responsive microbial activity and plant growth. Such studies on different soil series under different climatic conditions is advised for wide spread application and authorization of results.
