The nutrients applied are 100 g N, 40 g P2Os and 140 g K30/palm/ year in the form of organics and inorganics. The application of organic manure increased the microbial population. The increase in microbial population was observed between the rhizosphere samples collected at 0-30 cm and 30-60 cm depths. The surface cultivation of soil increased the microbial population. Trichoderma sp. and Aspergillus sp. dominated in the rhizosphere of arecanut palm.enArecanutCultivationInorganic fertilizerOrganic manureRhizosphere microfloraArticle
