Abstract
The objective of the experiment was to evaluate influence of municipal solid waste manure with different levels of inorganic fertilizer on physical properties of soil in cultivation of green gram. The design applied was randomized block design. It was observed that the lowest bulk density and particle density recorded in treatment T10 (NPK@100% + Municipal Solid Waste Manure @ 7.5 t ha-1). It was observed that treatment T10 (NPK@100% + Municipal Solid Waste Manure @ 7.5 t ha-1) have also influence the soil pore space and WHC. It was also recorded that bulk density and Particle Density maximum in T1 (control). Pore space and WHC also recorded minimum in T1 (control). T9 NPK@100% + Municipal Solid Waste Manure @5 t ha-1) which is almost the best treatment combination in all aspects proven to be economically optimal, based on the current study work.
