A field experiment was conducted on clayey soil (Typic chromustert) to study the effect of organic amendment Purna-11 with and without fertilizers on NPK balance in soil. Application of organic amendment Purna-11 have positive effect on availability of nutrients in soil. Nitrogen, Phosphorus and sulphur status of soil increased significantly with the application of Purna-11 @ 150 kg ha-1 with 100 per cent RDF. In case of potassium an application of FYM @ 10 t ha-1 recorded significantly higher availability in soil followed by application of Purna-11 @ 150 kg ha-1.Keywords

Composting experiment was carried out to assess the decomposition pattern and nutrient enrichment of Parthenium as influenced by the different inoculants. Parthenium was composted with different inoculants viz., dung slurry (T2), Trichoderma viride (T3), MAU mixture (T4), bone extract (T5) and EM culture (T6). The study was carried out by RBD with seven treatments and four replications. All the inoculants reduced the organic carbon of Parthenium during the decomposition. The increase of total nitrogen in T7 (combination of all the inoculants) was 2.03 folds over T1 (control). Among all the inoculants, the composite cultures have significant influence at all stages of decomposition. Composted Parthenium had recorded higher P2O5, K2O and micronutrients than fresh residues. Mixed cultures (MAU mixture and EM culture) had recorded early maturity and high quality of compost than single inoculant treated (T3 and T2) and control (T1) treatment.
