Impact of Chemically Diverse Organic Residue Amendment on Soil Enzymatic Activities in a Sandy Loam Soil

To monitor soil biological quality, it is of paramount importance to assess how chemically diverse organic residue amendments reciprocate matter. The present incubation study aimed evaluate the effect varying widely in their biochemical composition on dynamics enzymatic activity. changes pattern activity have been monitored over a period 63 days using total eleven different crop residues. enzyme (dehydrogenase, fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and phytase) soils amended with residues were significantly higher as compared control. It was further observed that activities Azadirachta indica, Avena sativa Lens culinaris continued be up 28 after incorporation (DAI). Our showed plant cellulose hemicellulose contents influenced well functional diversity microbial communities.
