EFFECT OF GROWING CONDITIONS AND BIO INOCULANTS ON ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE ACTIVITY IN RHIZOSPHERIC SOIL OF ASIATIC LILY

The experiment was conducted at Agri-tourism Centre, CCS HAU, Hisar (Haryana) during the year 2020-2021 to study the effect of bio inoculants on Alkaline Phosphatase activity in rhizospheric soil of crop Asiatic lily cv.Fangio under different growing conditions.The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design for bud parameters with three replications.The experiments consisted of three growing conditions (polyhouse, shadenet and open conditions) and eight different treatments of bio inoculants (T 1 : Recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), T 2 : RDF + Azotobacter, T 3 : RDF + PSB, T 4 : RDF + Mycorrhiza, T 5 : RDF + Azotobacter + PSB, T 6 : RDF + PSB + Mycorrhiza, T 7 : RDF + Azotobacter + Mycorrhiza, and T 8 : RDF + Azotobacter + PSB + Mycorrhiza).Among the different growing conditions, the maximum Alkaline Phosphatase activity was observed under shadenet condition whereas, among the various treatments, the maximum Alkaline Phosphatase activity were recorded in T 8 (RDF + Azotobacter + PSB + Mycorrhiza).
