Abstract
The experiment was carried out from November 2020 to March 2022 at the RVSKVV College of Agriculture's Research Farm, located in Gwalior (M.P.), in the Department of Horticulture. Three replications and a Randomized Block Design were used to set up the experiment. The all soil characteristics analysis both initial and final level after experiment respectively minimum soil pH (7.05, 7.49), EC dsm-1 (0.225, 0.220) and maximum Organic carbon % (2.117, 3.263), Nitrogen Kg ha-1 (177.14,187.29), Phosphorus Kg ha-1 (13.38, 13.58) and Potassium Kg ha-1 (207.88, 229.45) quality parameters were most effectively achieved with treatment T5 RDF 90 % + Vermicompost + (Azotobacter + PSB + KMB) + (Zn + Cu + Fe + Boron). Because sweet orange orchards are located in the Gird Region of Madhya Pradesh, this particular treatment is most suited for use there.
