Abstract

This study examines the influence of management strategies on the variety of microorganisms in the rhizosphere and the physical and chemical characteristics of mango plantations. Specifically, it explores the physicochemical properties and microbial diversity within the soil of the Gir mango orchard, located in the Gir region of Gujarat, India. By analyzing soil samples from various depths and locations within the orchard, the study assesses parameters such as pH, organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and microbial diversity. The findings indicate significant variations in soil properties and microbial populations, including bacteria and fungi which are crucial for understanding the orchard's health and productivity. This research contributes valuable insights to the ongoing scholarly conversation surrounding sustainable agriculture, emphasizing the significance of organic management strategies in mitigating environmental consequences while promoting sustained agricultural productivity.
