Such information may prove useful to farmers as it may provide them with an option to use the undesired crop waste as partial replacements for synthetic fertilizers. The <i>insitu</i> incorporation of paddy straw amended with N₆₀ P₆₀ resulted in dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, cellulase, cellobiase and urease activity, statistically at par with N₁₂₀ P₆₀ fertilized or fungal inoculated paddy straw treatments. The N₆₀ P₆₀ treatment also showed highest soil microbial biomass. However, the chemical properties (organic carbon, nitrogen, available phosphorus and humus content) of wheat soil were highest in paddy straw+N₆₀P₆₀+<i>Aspergillus awamori</i>+<i>Trichoderma reesei</i>+<i>Phanerochaete chrysosporium</i> fertilized soil closely followed by paddy straw+N₆₀P₆₀ treatment. Higher wheat yield in this treatment, compared to recommended dose of chemical fertilizers made the use of natural resources a profitable option. 收起
