Salinity is one of the most widespread soil degradation processes on the Earth. Excess soil salinity causes poor and spotty stands of crops, uneven and stunted growth and poor yields, the extent depending on the degree of salinity. Organic manures provides nutrient in stress condition. Application of different organic manures in combination with inorganic fertilizers to Amaranthus might give a substitute under pot condition. A pot experiment is conducted during 2010-12 with the objective to find out best combination and type of organic and inorganic fertilizer for Amaranthus (Amaranthus cruentus) production. The experiment was laid out with three replication. The treatments were: control (T1), 100+60+40 NPK Kg/ha+5ton/ha Vermicompost (T2), 100+60+40 NPK Kg/ha+5 ton/ha Farmyard manure (T3), 100+60+40 NPK Kg/ha+5ton/ha Paddy husk (T4), 100+60+40 NPK Kg/ha+2.5 ton/ha Farmyard manure+2.5 ton/ha Vermicompost (T5). The aim of this work therefore was to investigate the effects of vermicompost, farmyard manure, paddy husk and NPK fertilizer on soil chemical properties and amaranthus yield in stress condition. The activity of dehydrogenase, urease and phosphatase(i.e. acid and alkali phosphatase) was measured after 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 days after sowing.
