Abstract

  The present investigation entitled was carried out to “Studies on Rhizosphere hybridization and nutrient dynamics in sweet orange growing soils was carried out during 2013-14 at department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry,VNMKV, Parbhani. The Rhizosphere soil samples were collected from three religious trees such as Ficusreligiosa (Pimpal), icusbenghalensis (Banyan tree / wad) and Ficus racemosa (Umber tree). The soil samples were collected from 15-20 cm depth of root zone and used for pot culture experiment. The seedlings of sweet orange were planted in pots filled with rhizosphere soils collected from 3 icus species. Pot culture experiment was carried out with 9 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments were T 1 (Control Vertisol soil), T2 (Inceptisol soil), T 3 (Soil under Ficus religiosa tree), T4 Soil under Ficus benghalensis tree), T5 (Soil under Ficus racemosa tree), T6 (Ficus religiosa + Inceptisol), T7 (Ficus benghalensis + Inceptisol), T8 (Ficus racemosa + Inceptisol), T9 (Soil from sweet orange orchard). Results indicated the positive effect of rhizosphere hybridization on sweet orange seedlings growth parameters viz., number of leaves, height of seedling and stem diameter. It was noticed that all growth parameters were improved significantly in rhizosphere soils of Ficus religiosa, Ficus benghalensis and Ficus racemosa tree species and its hybridized soils over control, normal soil and soil from sweet orange orchard. The improvement in growth attributed to the improvement in physical properties, favorable pH, macro and micro-nutrient availability due to rhizosphere soil and its mixing with normal sweet orange garden soil.
