MICROBIAL ACTIVITY AND CELLULOSE DEGRADERS IN TERMITE MOUND SOIL

The field experiment was conducted during kharif and rabi season of 2106 to study the effect of different manurial practices on soil microbial activity under SRI method of rice planting. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with 8 treatments replicated thrice.

They support many habitats and ecosystems, which provide innumerable feeding pathways or food chains to all species. Their loss would threaten food chains and the survival of many species. During the past few years quite a lot of vast green land has been converted into deserts. The pre[r]

Soil properties are sensitive to changes in the soil environment as influenced by vegetation, climate and inputs and losses of biomass and nutrients. Thus, the cropping systems with different management practices are likely to influence soil properties. Grid based soil survey was conducted in Mudhol[r]

Microbial community structure analysis, primarily based on 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing, is becoming the most powerful tool to study nitrifying bacterial populations present in biofilm reactors (Amann et al., 1995; Head et al., 1998; Olsen et al., 1986). An overview of a
