Eight soil samples from closely situated cultivated field with varying cropping patterns have been assayed for fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes. The microbial population in different plots differed to a considerable extent. Plot with thick coverage and short term cropping pattern gave high fungal counts. The availability of substrates for microbial growth seems to be an important factor in governing the soil microbial population. A marginal difference in moisture content and pH plays a negligible role in the determination of soil microflora. (PDF at Slideshare.net)
