abstract
In order to assess how greenhouse soil responded to a bio fertilizer and mycorrhiza in comparison to other nutrient sources, the experiment was carried out in the Central Plain Zone (Auraiya) during the 2021–22 cropping season. Control, FYM, sheep manure, poultry manure, and chemical fertilizer, as well as FYM with half chemical, half chemical, and half chemical in poultry manure, were the treatments. The following randomized complete block design (RBCD) was used for the trials, and three replications of each treatment were conducted. Comparing significance means yielded the least significance difference (LSD) with a 5% error rate. The results indicated that half-chemical treatment of poultry manure greatly decreased the pH of the soil (7.00) while substantially raising the EC, P, and N, P, and K in the plant to 1.57 ds.m-¹, 22.53, 2.90, 0.585, and 3.347 ppm, respectively. Significant increases in EC, K, N, and P accessible in the soil (1.345 ds.m-¹), as well as P and K content in plants (0.471 and 3.29 ppm), were seen in mycorrhizae; nevertheless, the pH of the soil was dramatically lowered (7.344). Additionally, the results showed that the combination of poultry manure and 1/2 chemical with mycorrhizae significantly increased the amount of N, P, and K accessible in the soil as well as the K content in plants (2.95, 46.13, and 3.53 ppm) and TSS (8.70) and reduced pH (7.201).
