dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The present investigations entitled “Effect of organic inputs on plant growth, quality and soil health of kiwifruit” were conducted in the experimental orchard of Department of Fruit Science, Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, during the year 2009 and 2011. The study was laid out in randomized block design and replicated thrice. Therefore, in the present investigation the kiwifruit vines were treated with different treatment combination of vermicompost; FYM; biofertilizers; green manure and vermiwash. Among the different treatment combination T13 [FYM @15 kg vine-1 + green manure + vermicompost @ 15 kg vine- 1+ biofertilizer (mixed culture @ 50 g vine-1)+ vermiwash at 15 days interval @ 2% v/v] was found most effective in producing better fruit quality, increased physicochemical and biological properties (organic carbon, available soil nutrient status, leaf nutrient status, Azotobacter sp., Pseudomonas sp., soil fungi, Actinomycetes sp., and AM spore population) of the soil. Whereas, T1 (control; recommended dose of NPK+20 kg FYM) produced maximum yield over all the treatments. The preliminary present studies indicate that organic agro-inputs may be helpful to enhance the fruit quality and improve soil health in respect to physico-chemical and biological properties of soil.en_US
