A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season 2019-2020 on sandy loam soil to -study the effect of different levels of bulky organic manures with chemical fertilizers on soil properties of French bean. Organic and inorganic nutrients are important for crop productivity and soil health. The trial was conducted at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Naini Agricultural Institute, Prayagraj – 211007. The experimental layout was done in a Randomized block design with 9 treatments replicated three times. The results shown that application of 100% vermicompost significantly enhanced the physical parameters., viz. % pore space, water retaining capacity (%), specific gravity., organic carbon (%) and there was reduced bulk density (Mg m-3) along with particle density (Mg m-3) and application of 50% RDF + 25% FYM + 25% vermicompost gave good results in terms of chemical parameters viz. pH, electrical conductivity (dSm-1), available N, P and K (kg ha-1). The present study reveals that combined application of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers gave best results in terms of soil chemical parameters. Whereas, application of 100% vermicompost without any chemical fertilizer as given the positive outcome in terms of soil physical parameters including organic carbon.
