Assessment of soil quality and yield attributes of mango Mangifera indica L in relation to carbon inputs under INM modules

Abstract

The present research work was conducted under the Department of Horticulture (Fruit and Fruit Technology) during 2021 2023 to assess the impact of long-term (12-13 years) integrated nutrient modules (INM) on soil physico-chemical and biological properties, carbon inputs, carbon stock content, yield, and fruit quality of mango cv. Langra under an orchard ecosystem with the hypothesis that long term INM practice would increase the soil organic carbon stock that imparts better soil health and quality, and ultimately better fruit yield and quality attributes. newline
