Abstract
The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the Influence of city waste manure and different levels of inorganic fertilizers on soil health of black gram. The design applied was FRBD. The study consisted of 16 combination of treatments in which was replicated thrice. The lowest bulk density and particle density recorded in NPK 80% and it was observed that treatment NPK 80% improved the soil WHC, OC, available N, P and K due to effect of fertilizer levels. Due to effect of city waste manure lowest value of bulk density and particle density of soil was recorded in treatment CWM 7.5 tha‑1 and it was observed that treatment NPK 80% improved the soil WHC, OC, available N, P and K. The various level of NPK and City Waste Manure with different soil health parameter used from in the experiment, Economically the treatment combination T10 (RDF NPK @ 80% + City Waste manure @ 2.5t ha-1) was found to be the best treatment for Black gram (Vigna mungo L.) Var. Shekhar- 2.
