Abstract
Decomposition of diplachne fusca and
suaeda fruticosa in saline soil with resultant changes in cellulolytic soil mycoflora and soil chemical properties have been studied in beakers for 42 days. Cellulolytic soil mycoflora increased with prolonged incubation and was greater in case of D. fusca amendment. D. fusca supported a comparatively wider variety of
mycoflora , cellulose activity increases in both the amendments but was greater in case of D.fusca amendment. Soluble Na+1 and Ca+2 and mg+2 increased with prolonged incubation in both the cases ; the increase was greater in case of S. fruticosa amendment . organic matter decreased but the decrease was slightly lessin case of S. fruticosa amendment . humic acid content was greater in case of S. fruticosa amendment.
