This research was conducted to isolate culturable soil-borne fungi from Lipa clay loam soil and identify the types of siderophores they produce. The frequency of fungal isolates was likewise compared across the soil strata. Soil samples were plated on Rose Bengal Agar (RBA) and incubated for five days. Morpho-culturally unique isolates were transferred in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) slants and identified using taxonomic keys and by ITS sequencing. Siderophores of each species were then characterized through colorimetric methods. Twenty-nine species of fungi were identified. Six isolates were Basidiomycetes, 1 Zygomycetes and 22 Ascomycetes. Among ascomycetes, two were teleomorphs: Chaetomium globosum Kunze and Emericella nidulans (Eidam) Vuillemin. Isolates were then characterized in terms of their ability to produce siderophores. Majority produced hydroxamate type of siderophores while only Aspergillus tamarii Kita produced all three types of siderophores. Six other species failed to produce any of the three types. Isolates may further be studied for their metal remediating capacity and other biological activities.

The present experiment was laid out in a randomized block design consisted of 6 treatments. Taking the JS 95-60 as test variety in clay loam soil. Analysis of soil and plant samples was done as per standard methods.The present experiment was laid out in the field No.52 at Research Farm of R. A. K. College of Agriculture, Sehore (M.P.) during Kharif season, 2013 & 2014 The experimental site having fairly uniform topography with normal fertility status. The effect of integrated nutrient management and mulching on plant height was noticed non significant. However , branches per plant, Root length/ plant (cm), Dry weight/ plant (g), Pods/plant(no), Seed index(g), and Grain yield(kg/ha) were found to increase significantly due to the application of 50% RDF + ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ V.C. 1.5t/ha + B.F.+ A.M. + Mulching(T6) followed by treatment T4 and T5 ( Table 3) over other treatments. The such increase in soybean growth and yield was attributed to the increase in availability of nutrients with application of inorganic fertilizer.

In crop production, it is essential to know the soil characteristics, water requirement, and crop suitability in order to have favorable plant growth and yield. This study was conducted to determine the growth and yield performance of aromatic rice grown in different soil textures and water levels. The experiment was laid out in a 2 x 3 split-plot, Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Four containers per treatment (21.5cm and a height of 23cm pail size) were used, each filled with 10 kg soil under saturated conditions. The different soil textures (S1- Clay Loam, S2- Clay) were designated as the main plots, and various water levels (W1- 1.5cm, W2- 3.0cm, W3- 5.0 cm) were considered as the subplots. The results revealed that rice grown in clay loam soil (S1) were taller, had broader 1 leaf area index, produced flower early, and have more number of tillers hill- (21.11). Likewise, longer panicle length (21.79cm), highest percent filled grains (82%), and 1 1 total grain yield (55g hill- ) equivalent to 6.11 t ha- were obtained from plants grown in clay loam soil. Plants grown in 3.0cm water levels produced more productive 1 tillers hill- (21.83), the highest number of filled grains (138), and highest grain yield 1 1 at 54.35g hill- or equivalent to 5.99 t ha- .

Beneficial microorganisms play a key role in the availability of ions minerals in the soil and use Randomized Complete Block Desing ( R.C.B.D ). The objective of this paper to the study effect of the of biofertilizer and miniral treatments on availability of NPK for crop corn zea mays L.Two types of biofertilizer are Bacterial Bacillus subtilis and Fungal Trichoderma harianum. Three levels of potassium fertilizer are (2.9533, 0.4000 and 2.9533). A field experiment in fall season of 2018 Has been conducted in silty clay loam soil. The experimental Results indicated that Bacillus and Trichoderma inoculation separately or together Have made a significant effect to increase in the availability of N P K in the soil compare to other treatments. The grain yield is where (2.9533, 0.4000 and 2.9533) of bacterial and fungal bio-fertilizer and potassium fertilizers respectively as compared to the control.
