The resent study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different organic and inorganic fertilizer treatment combinations on amendment in mine area soil of Olidih watershed in Jharkhand state of India. Soil samples were collected from study area and analyzed for Available Micronutrients (Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn) and heavy metals (Ni, Cr, Pb). Initially, the soil in study area was found moderately acidic and deficient in organic carbon, macronutrients and micronutrients. Pot experiment was conducted to analyze the effect of different inorganic and organic fertilizer treatments on soil chemical properties in a Maize-cowpea-paddy cropping system. A randomized complete block design was employed with seven treatments and four replicates per treatment. Results of the experiment showed that organic and inorganic fertilizers are effective in restoring the productivity of degraded soils.
