A field experiment was conducted during 2010-12 in banana cv. Robusta (AAA) to study the effects of combined application of fertigation and consortium of biofertilizers on some of the biological properties of the soil. The results indicated that the application of fertigation with consortium of biofertilizers significantly enhanced the soil respiration (19 to 83 per cent), dehydrogenese activity (52 to 97 per cent), Glomalin content (21 to 72 per cent) and phosphatase activities (Acid phosphatase from 53 to 92 per cent and alkaline phosphatase from 40 to 82 per cent) as compared to only fertigation treatment. In both main and ratoon crops, the fertigation treatment without consortium of biofertilizers recorded the lowest values for these soil biological properties. This study indicated that the soil biological properties can be significantly enhanced by combining fertigation with consortium of biofertilizers which also substantially reduces the requirement of chemical fertilizers up to 25-50 per cent.
