A field experiment was conducted during the year 2015-16 at Post Graduate Institute Farm, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, to study the “Effect of Seed Inoculation of Zinc and Iron Solubilizing Microorganisms on Yield and Nutrient Uptake of Wheat in Inceptisol. The highest microbial population was also observed in treatment T7, which was at par with treatment T6 and T5, in panicle initiation and harvest stage, with a slight decline at the harvest stage of wheat. The result presented in table 4 and 5 indicated a significant increase in soil bacterial and fungal count at panicle initiation stage of wheat. This increase in the microbial population was observed in treatment highest bacterial and fungal population was in the treatment T7, which was observed to be at par with treatmentsT5 and T6. The same trend in microbial population was observed at harvest stage with slight decrease in the population over the panicle initiation stage. | Effect of seed inoculation of zinc and iron solubilizing microorganisms on soil microbial count as influenced by different treatments at panicle initiation and harvest stage of wheat in Inceptisol
