A study on nutritional and microbial analysis of Kunapajala with different storage time interval was conducted in the Department of Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry and the Department of Plant Pathology, UBKV, Coochbehar-736165, West Bengal during March, 2019. The motive of this work was to estimate the physicochemical properties, macro and micro nutrient content and various microbial load of Kunapajala with different storage time interval. Kunapajala had the highest P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu & Mn 40 days after preparation and it had highest N and S 20 days after preparation. It had the highest beneficial microbial load of Fungi, Actinomycetes, Pseudomonus, Phosphorus Solubilising Bacteria (PSB), Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Rhizobium and Trichoderma 40 days after preparation. So, continuous foliar and soil application of Kunapajala from 20 days after preparation to 40 days after preparation was beneficial to get maximum utilization. Moreover, Kunapajala can be used as an alternative against chemical fertilizers and pesticides to develop organic farming.
