(Table: 2).
Soil essential nutrient such as available N, P and K were significantly increased in microbial seed treated pot and field soil in comparison with the untreated control soil. In case of the pot soil the amount of available nitrogen (AN) varied from 38.12 kg/ha to 49.47 kg/ha, and all the treatments showed significant increase compared with untreated control pot, where the consortia treatment showed maximum amount of AN (49.47 kg/ha) followed by E. cloacae BHUJPCS-21 (44.74 kg/ha),E. hormaechei BHUJPCS-15 (42.17 kg/ha) and control (38.12 kg/ha). Available phosphate (AP) was significantly increased in consortia (25.41 kg/ha) followed by the E. hormaechei BHUJPCS-15 (22.14 kg/ha) andE. cloacae BHUJPCS-21 (20.47 kg/ha) in compare with untreated control (19.98 kg/ha) soil. Available potassium (AK) also significantly increased in consortia (43.01 kg/ha) than E. cloacaeBHUJPCS-21(41.84 kg/ha) and E. hormaechei BHUJPCS-15 (36.14 kg/ha) in comparison with control (30.35 kg/ha) soil. On the other hand the available N, P, K of the experimental field also recorded and observed that the all treatments showed significant increase in the AN observed in consortia (49.47 kg/ha) followed by E. cloacaeBHUJPCS-21(44.74 kg/ha) and E. hormaechei BHUJPCS-15 (42.17 kg/ha) in comparison with the untreated control (38.12 kg/ha) site. Consortia treated plot recorded highest amount of AP (25.41 kg/ha) followed by E. hormaechei BHUJPCS-15 (22.14 kg/ha), E. cloacae BHUJPCS-21 (20.47 kg/ha) and control (19.98 kg/ha), all three treated site showed significant increase in AP in compare with untreated control plot. Available K (AK) observation showed that the maximum AK was found in consortia (43.01 kg/ha), E. cloacae BHUJPCS-21 (41.84 kg/ha), E. hormaechei BHUJPCS-15 (30.35 kg/ha) and all three treatments were significantly increased than control plot
