ABSTRACT

Investigations were carried out to study the influence of flyash seed pelleting on microbial populations of bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, and rhizobium in black gram and green gram. The experimental results revealed that seed pelleting with fly ash seed pelleting @ 250 g with rice gruel as adhesive increased rhizobium population in black gram and fungi and actinomyctes population in green gram by 10 to 15 %. Increased microbial activity will enrich soil microflora and in turn will be helpful in increasing the crop yield.
