Overview

Observational analysis assessed soil mesofauna abundance in maize crops with varied fertilizer and soil moisture, indicating significant abiotic influences.

Key Points

  • Soil mesofauna abundance peaked at 31.85/400g soil when combining farmyard manure with specific NPK fertilizers, emphasizing the importance of nutrient input.
  • The combination of 123.74:48.91:55.59 kg N:P:K/ha and 20.76 tonnes of FYM/ha resulted in the highest abundance recorded at 26.88/400g soil.
  • Multiple linear regression identified soil moisture influencing mesofauna abundance significantly, accounting for a 51% reduction in abundance per unit decrease.
  • Overall, abiotic factors explained 70% of the variation in soil mesofauna abundance, highlighting their crucial role in soil ecology.
