Effect of Different Cropping System on Important Soil Enzyme Activity, Organic Carbon and Microbial Activity with Different Depth

Abstract

The microbial and enzyme activities of the soil are closely related to the organic matter content and influenced by hydrothermal regimes of the soil. Keeping this in view, the study conducted that effect of different cropping systems on dehydrogenase, urease, acid and alkaline phosphatase activity and microbial population like bacteria, fungi and actinimycetes was evaluated from ˃ 20 year old cultivation under different cropping systems i.e., mango, cashew, vegetable, rose and medicinal and aromatic crops at different depths (0-15, 15-30, 30-50. 50-100 cm). From this study it was observed that, the mango and cashew showed significantly higher enzymes activity and microbial population at surface soil (0-15 cm) as compared to annual crops.
